  beenthere240: I don't think this game belongs in the collection. I can blunder into a lost game faster than this but still drag it out into the low 20's.

1. g4 is a blunder.

And of course <resigning in a position> might also be called <a blunder>.

with at least equal chances.

This may be a correspondence game between two inmates that was discontinued when Campbell escaped or was released from prison.

  fredthebear: FTB sprung a word trap.

Your explanation is very plausible <sneaky pete>. Or, Campbell might have ran out of money to pay the postage!

It appears these cruise ships stuck at sea for months have become prisons by default: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...
