My Draw

“The fatal hour of this ancient game is approaching. In its modern form this game will soon die a drawing death - the inevitable victory of certainty and mechanization will leave its stamp on the fate of chess.” - Emanuel Lasker

In chess games played at the top level, a draw is the most common outcome of a game: of around 22,000 games published in The Week in Chess played between 1999 and 2002 by players with a FIDE Elo rating of 2500 or above, 55 percent were draws. Roughly 36 percent of games between top computer chess programs are draws. One unique aspect in chess in that it is one of the few sports, competitions that allows a draw between opponents. Sometimes agreed upon, sometimes discovered, many times forced, “the draw” has become not only a survival strategy, but an artform of the game. Favorite of some and not so favorite of others, “the draw” is certainly the result of a game ending…

Here is one of mine

Umm . . . did something get messed up in your notation? Because if you were trying to be funny, you might at least have ended the position in a statemate.

I posted his game, since his own post was messed up.

But I see this thread in a totally wrong format, the avatars look giant.

That's not true, it must be your computer.

Ok, ok, ok, calm down! That was a mistake in the notation! I know that, but what I don't know is why socialista is posting my stuff without me asking him?

Why would he have to ask you/be asked by you? The games played on this site are public domain.

Yeah well that's right but I'll ask You if I need Your help!

All the paintings in an art gallery are not perfect do You go and try to correct them?

The game notation is now fixed and right, sorry for the wrong entry...:-D

Why dont you post one of his games? That'll teach him a lesson.

Good idea, I appreciate that! Thanks! Hope You like the post:-D Cheers!!
