Funniest Game I've Played..
A pity: you could have scored a 400Elo upset with the black pieces, had you just been the proverbial "patzer sees check" at move 52 (Qxa3+).
Weird way for White to get his/her Queen trapped there, instead of winning a central advanced Pawn.
move 59 sealed the draw as 54.Rg7 was a mistake allowing a win :-)
If there's a win after 54.Rg7+, I don't see it.
that allows the black K to move to squares near those controlled by the Q. as long as the Q moves, there is no stalemate.
I see the stalemate: indeed my impression was that Black's mistake could be avoided by 52.Qxa3+, as I wrote before (a natural move for a patzer like me). What I don't see is how to escape the desperado tactic used by White as late as after move 54: 64.Rc2+ is as near as it can be to the black Queen, but White's trick still works.
I hoped you could show the continuation when White gets busted, after 54.Rg7+. If there's a way, it could be a very useful idea to learn for me and all the others who are missing it.
58....Kg3 and start inching towards the queen staying on ranks 3/4, eventually, the queen can take the rook and frees the king.

Ok. Now I see it: gives the Queen for a Rook and at least one Pawn, but the resulting position is still won for Black.
Thanks.
