 | | Eggman: Hardly a resignable position. |
|
Nov-27-03 | | Spitecheck: Evidently his opponent was also wearing a blindfold :). Spitecheck |
|
Jul-03-04 | | ArturoRivera: 7.-...Bxb7 8.-Qxb7 Nd7 and black is still on the fight |
|
Jun-19-05 | | schnarre: Yes indeed, Black can still fight it out. |
|

|
Jun-19-05 | | fgh: NN, loses again... Not much of a surprise :-) |

 | | offramp: What this game shows is that when some players play 30 or 40 games simltaneously blindfold, some of those games will not tax the brain. |
|
Jun-20-05 | | schnarre: <offramp> True enough! |
|
Jun-20-05 | | InspiredByMorphy: I dont like that the game is cut off suddenly. As eggman said above <Hardly a resignable position> . |
|
Jun-21-05 | | schnarre: After 8...Nd7 Black still has 9...Ngf6 10...Be7 & 11...0-0 with development on his side. The White Queen can be chased for additional tempi, if need be. |
|
Aug-10-05 | | SneechLatke: No, the game is certainly not lost, but white is up a pawn and black has no compensation. This is what happens when black falls for the classic 1.g4 trap. |

I think NN's brain must have been taxed if they resigned in this position! |

Mar-20-12 | | PeaceRequiresAnarchy: White to play 7.? could be a great Sunday puzzle of the day! White to force mate in 92 moves! :-P |

 | | FSR: As people have said, it's ridiculous that Black would resign here - especially in a blindfold simul. |
|

 | | perfidious: Maybe Black had a train to catch. |

 | | FSR: <perfidious> Kolty clearly didn't seek out strong players, nor players who were willing to make a serious time commitment, for that exhibition. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Incidentally, Hearst and Knott on page 90 of their book on blindfold chess say that these 56 games were played one at a time, <not> simultaneously. That's got to be about 1000 times easier than playing 56 games at once. |

 | | perfidious: <FSR> Even a fish like me can play one at a time, and have played as many as six in one go. Cannot imagine 56 at once, though. |

 | | FSR: <perfidious> This fish can't even play one at a time. This has always been my secret embarrassment. |
