Hi PR.
See you may soon be No1. Get ready for the flak!
The thread was titled 'Advice Please' and it was a GIP.
What else could they do.
Leaving it up would have set a precedent.
Have a quite few examples where some of the lads have lost KR v KR
The most common being skewers or similiar to this one.
Black has just played 1...Kf4 and White wins with the check.
The lads are not terrible chess players, 90% of the blunders I've
seen would not happen OTB.
Here they have too many games on the go, they are playing an opening
in one game, conducting a sac attack in another, defending in another and
relaxing in drawn endings.
You could liken it to a continuous simultaneous display, when one game
finishes another player jumps into the empty seat.
How many average chess players do you know could give a good
performance v mixed opposition in a 20 board simul?
Not many, I can think of...er.....none.
But that is what they doing on here, hence the incredible blunders.
The K V K resignation is sound as are a few K v K timeouts.
I think the system should kick in and declare it a draw.
(but there again that would be outside interference).
Also recall posting one unlucky soul who resigned when
faced with King and two Knights v his bare King.
Edit:
Hi Darax
A good experiment that. Can you post the game or did it take forever?
