At the end he had K+Q v K and stalemated her, deliberately I'm sure.

Robbie whens the instructional video on the knight bishop mate coming? Im waiting.
Sorry to disappoint you 2Q1C but there are already a plethora of videos on the subject. It appears to me to make no sense to cover something already covered by others more adept than I. Someone sent me from Texas USA, as an unexpected gift. The American chess quarterly complete! which was printed between 1961 and 1965 edited by GM Larry Evans. It has articles in it by Fischer, Lombardy and other legends, Its valued at auction from between $1000-2000 I will do and I promise! some videos from articles in it, some of them are absolutely brilliant.

Yes! I knew you had it in you to make more content. A very generous gift indeed. Does it include games?
yes there are about 18 individual magazines and some supplements which includes some outstanding analysis, yes. I know it was super generous and completely unexpected.

Yeah and she could have taken the draw earlier, but she kept playing in a lost position. No class. Probably just tried to flag him and win on time.
No class??? fighting spirit more like!
Im amazed at the shear speculation put forth by many otherwise valued members.....For those of you who have never actually played a real hustler, their banter wins more games than their skills.....Sleight of hand? Cheating? Not likely, the best of these players will talk you off your game before the first move.
I played in the U2000 section in the '93 World Open. After 4 rounds, I was at 3.5 and paired with another 3.5. It turned out to be a Washington Square Park hustler who had played a couple of recent smaller tournaments to get a rating. His true strength was 2100+, but he was listed at around 1950. I didn't know any of that until we got into the middle game and I went out for a smoke and a think. Someone approached me and told me who I was playing. Not only was he a park hustler, he also played one in "Searching for Bobby Fischer." I rented the movie on the way home that night and sure enough, there he was. He even had a line: "Put it out! Here comes Josh!" Or something like that. His USCF entry shows that he kept playing OTB for several more years. I guess he liked it. His rating after the '93 World Open shot up to the 2100s and stayed there, never quite reaching 2200. He even has an IMDB entry (with one acting credit), so it's kind of like I'm famous. Sort of. :-/
She knocked over her king in the beginning. Kept saying check to her opponent. With manners like that I hope she is not a prodigy.
Its Realpolitik dude!
Seriously though do you have an answer for me? Is that kid the next Karpov or Peter Svidler or something?
she just hustling dem hustlers dude!
But like how old is she? Is she ranked? I'm asking if she's going to be like the next World Champ or something. Because is she's 3 and beating or drawing grown men, she obviously has potential.
Her daddy taught her the moves and she plays in a club probably, hustler probably underestimated her, she has fighting spirit though, 4sure
