Jan-08-05  WMD: A sort of chess purgatory. A 15 1/2 hour game, with 57 moves before the first capture.

The position after White's 101st move is quite nice though.

Apr-06-06  Runemaster: A very sudden end to such a tedious game. One wonders what the players were doing penance for.
Apr-06-06  Granite: This game needed more manuvering and less captures.

  perfidious: <goldfarbdj>: Wouldn't have dreamt of suggesting this classic if you paid me to do so.

That contributor's Premium Membership should be revoked-'purgatory', 'tedious' and 'snoozefest' are all apt descriptors indeed. <Sitzfleisch> won the day.

The notability of at least one player is a criterion for submission, as I discovered to my surprise recently when submitting a fine combination played in a game between 2250 players for GTM.

  Honza Cervenka: It is painful to watch how Chajes after getting an excellent and clearly superior position became unable to find any plan to finish his opponent, even if that opponent was trying to help him with this task by greedy move like 59...Nxh6? Here 60.Nf5! looks like an obvious choice, and it is quite overwhelming too, for example 60...Nxf5+ 61.exf5 Rg7 62.Bxg5! fxg5 63.f6 and the game is over (63...Rf7 64.Rxh7+ Rxh7 65.Rxh7+ Kg8 66.f7#).
