Those moves made perfect sense after a game that should have been drawn an hour before we agreed to finish it . . .

Black could win with 3...Nxf7

If that is true, then I made an error somewhere. It's a dead draw.

huh NxN, KxN. King takes pawn and its drawn?

AndyClifton

Or King takes pawn and its drawn right away (don't even bother with it, burnsy).

Yes, but could you do it "with perfect play"?  That's the question. Smile

What is this?

I think it's another one of those "This is your brain on drugs" things.

I was bored, so my opponent and I made really dumb moves. After all, it was a drawn position : P

At least until White's 3rd move...

2.Kxe3, which is probably what Scott meant back on post #8. The conversation and the game would have been over before Black could "win" the Knight.
