I don't think I've ever seen a game before where I had no idea what was going on for like a hundred moves or so. Complete and utter double-dutch. I must make a note to myself not to watch any more games between this pair of snooze-artists.

You don't like take back games?

it was a takeback game between me and Antoly, but we were replaying the moves of McShane and Short.

Let it be noted we were following the McShane-Short game from London to see what analysis would show. (thanks for posting it) I had no idea what was going on a lot of the time either.

What makes it funnier is we messed up the first time after 50-some moves, and had to start another game. (We made the second one take-back.)

Thank you but I needed no clarification, I was fully aware of the origin of the game when I made my comments.

Classic psychological play from McShane. Wouldn't have been able to win without it...
