So.... do we have a rematch to see who advances?
evert823

Was this game part of one of the tournaments?

Anyway I am ready for one more game, since I am out of games.

hitthepin
Yes, this game was in the tournament. We’ll rematch if that’s what you want to do & vickalan knows.

This game was part of the tournament, so I believe you need to play a rematch, yes.

I'm a bit surprised by the sudden draw though. White has an extra pawn after Rxf8+ Kg7 hxg4 Rxg4.

hitthepin
Mmmm, maybe I should have played on.

This is the second game of bulldog that ended in a draw.
hitthepin
This means so far bulldog has a 1/35 or 2.85% draw rate.

Wow, interesting ending. Still a lot of pawns. None of White's pawns are doubled or isolated, but he only has another rook.

Black's pawns look weaker, but has other material.

I've played evert823 before, and we got into a position where best play was to repeat positions.  Apparently we were both afraid to get out of that so it also ended in a draw.

Another game will be planned to decide who advances in the tournament.happy.png

I'll issue the news at the thread with the bracket soon.

Are both players OK for the re-match to begin tomorrow (Evert playing White this time)?

hitthepin
Yes.
vickalan

The medal ceremony: Tournament director is amazed at a draw! The first-ever in a bulldog tournament. After 43 moves, and the superior player is still not known! A rematch will be scheduled to decide who wins the match, and who advances!
