I won a game without moving my king at all. :)

In this game I made 24 moves without moving my king.  The center was closed so my king was not in too much danger.  :)  However there was a chance that my king was going to move soon but my opponent resigned.  :)

Maybe the question is how long can you play without moving your king and win?  :)

You played 1.c4.. it was a positional game.. but if you had played 1.e4 it would have been another game and your king would have been, in many cases, in danger.. however it was a good game

why resign? a knight for a pawn isnt that bad....

As a matter of fact, Einstein, I think you were playing a losing game. Although black loses the knight, his two rooks are already in action and you were soon going to be bombarded in the center. Resigning was not the right option! :)

Einstein does castling count???

White's last move was supposed to do what it actually did, intimidate his opponent.  The best thing for white to do afterwards is to march the kingside pawns, starting with h5, irregardless of what the trapped knight does.  From this I could possibly see a promising attack on that wing.  White cannot afford to open the e-file at all. And he's not in a position to do so.  The move was more psychological than rational.  The black knight is trapped, but what would be the response should black move the knight anywhere? 

This is simply a game where white played the man rather than the board. I think that what Lasker had said at one point.  Fischer said to play the board, not the man.  So, this game is different from what most would expect nowadays.

Yes, the latest castling took place on White's 46th move.  It was sometime in the 1980s.

 

Black shouldn't have resigned.  White might have won the exchange but at the price of exposing his king to a discovered check and giving Black control of a open central file!  White would be left with no real attacking possibilities (except for the possibility of a pawn advance on the kingside) and Black would have gained the initiative.

 

If I did the analysis right....

 

Edit:  Actually, after playing through, it looks like Black equalizes his material easily, while maintaining the initiative.
