| Mar-23-06 | | YouRang: <Eficko> Actually, if you look again, you'll see that between moves 53-57, there was no position that was thrice repeated. (And even if there had been, it doesn't automatically result in a draw -- one of the players must claim it.) |

(And even if there had been, it doesn't automatically result in a draw -- one of the players must claim it." i know..... i was the one telling chesspieceface that so please look again, youll see that. i also know the rules fine and im pretty sure judit would of claimed it.... |

| Mar-23-06 | | ChessPieceFace: getting laughed at i expected, starting a fight i did not! haha. it confused me a bit, i guess it was 2.5 moves repeated. also i was pretty sure that since no one had previously mentioned it, i was wrong. the chances of me spotting something that none of you all did is pretty remote. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Kavalek's "Immortal Pawn" game was against Gufeld. It's in the database, but I don't know how to do a direct link. |
|
| Mar-23-06 | | YouRang: <Eficko> Oops! My apologies -- I clearly didn't read your post carefully. |
|
| Mar-23-06 | | Bobwhoosta: Funny, in the final position black has a pawn promotion no matter which way you flip the board. This type of game is something I need to study more, a pure positional build up off of a piece sacrifice. I would've never seen the sacrifice... |
|
| Mar-23-06 | | GilHamilton: <Phony Benoni> Gufeld vs Kavalek, 1962 ? |
|
| Mar-25-06 | | Eficko: <YouRang> no probs. i didnt quote it properly with his name in the first place. |
|
| Oct-06-06 | | kevin86: I think that the chain after move fifty is even more impressive:a6-d3-h7 |
|
| Jun-12-07 | | notyetagm: Position after 52 ... c3-c2

| Jun-13-07 | | sanyas: <Bobwhoosta> Not if you flip it sideways... |

 | | FSR: Poor Judit must have felt sick getting rolled by all those pawns. In such circumstances I always think of something IM Julio Kaplan once wrote (I think about a game where Lein had sacked a rook for five pawns and rolled them down the board much as Bacrot did here): "reminds me of a movie I saw once about Brazilian army ants." |

| Feb-28-08 | | D.Observer: Eight on three. Can't withstand it. |
|
| Dec-17-08 | | WhiteRook48: Polgar loses to Bacrot???? How did that happen? |
|
| Dec-17-08 | | chessamateur: <WhiteRook48> Bacrot was a young and upcoming star at this time and went on to become an elite GM. |

According to Irving Chernev's "Wonders and Curiosities of Chess" (Dover, 1974}, the game du Mont-Gosling, London 1943 reached the following position after 31.e5

|
| Jan-23-09 | | WhiteRook48: how come Black kept all the pawns for so long? |
|
| Jan-30-09 | | WhiteRook48: and it was a bit funny. |
|
| Oct-27-09 | | WhiteRook48: who won that game? |
|
| Aug-12-12 | | Abdel Irada: White was probably already lost by that time, but I think 38. ♕c6 was fatal. She had an opportunity to pick off the a-pawn and begin demolishing Black's queenside pawn chain, but instead chose to pursue a doomed attack. This is where my old friend/opponent Kermit Norris would have croaked, "No pawn respect!" |
|
| Apr-27-13 | | Rookiepawn: I think maybe 28. f4 was a poor move since it allows the Black e pawn to get pass and backed. 28.f3 seems to me as more cautious in order to stop the pawn avalanche. |
|
| Apr-27-13 | | thegoodanarchist: By move 49 Bacrot's pawn chain looks better than anything I've ever seen on a chess board. He still has all 8 and couldn't be more well placed |
|
| Nov-28-13 | | Dragi: nice game |
|
| Jan-20-14 | | MarkFinan: I guess if you want to study rook and pawn endgames there are better and more accurate games out there, but I just love this game and especially this position 
click for larger viewLooks brilliant! And I don't understand how white couldn't claim a draw on/around move 57?? This is the third game I've seen like this over the past month or two where I've seen brilliant and entertaining games that according to the rules of chess that I know anyway... should have been drawn! Brilliant game to go through though 😄 |
|
| Jan-20-14 | | MarkFinan: That guy who always gets ridiculed for saying pawns are better than rooks in the endgame, whoever you are, point your detractors this way, lol. ✌ |
