Wow, for a second I thought that was BBW!
Posted 1 message in It happened
Maybe that title should be "It happened again." :) And incidentally 6... Nxe5 doesn't work there (7 Qxh5 Nxc4 8 Qb5+).

Why you play so fast?

It's not really a "fortress" (especially since both players could make the same claim). It's just a position with no mo…

Two guys got in a fistfight on an adjacent board (and the loser landed right next to where I was sitting).
I once had an opponent fall asleep on me (snoring away and everything). Fortunately, I won. :)
