Jul-18-14  Layson: The last couple of moves are an amusing way to concede the draw.
Jul-19-14  Doniez: The final position is fascinating and this is why chess are so beautiful.
Jul-19-14  chesssalamander: The underpromotion with 65. c8 = B+, followed by the king's refusing to take the bishop with 65....Kc7 IS amusing!
Mar-16-18  YouRang: This game has an extremely rare quality:

It's a serious game that ended with one player having <two bishops on the same colored squares>!

  OhioChessFan: I had no idea I'd find this when I saw <YouRang's> comment in recent kibitzing and came to this page. I expected to find one of those rare underpromotions to avoid stalemate.
