    I hope that I am not right, but I have the feeling that the N will be traded for the 2 pawns and we will see a draw

    Seems like Toppy's out of the lav now. Those much better at chess than me seem to be suggesting he could have forced a draw but chose not to.

    I must admit I had a chuckle when I saw Kg2 as well.

    This has been a fantastic game.

    I assume it's a psychological point. Saying "you thought it was up to you to decide when this is a draw...well, it's not".

    Obviously ourselves during the game... but where is the best place to get post game analysis?

    is my preferred option. Much quicker than Chessbase in getting the material up there. I'd expect analysis to be published in the next hour or two
