| Dec-21-07 | | xeroxmachine: eight! |
|
| Dec-21-07 | | whiteshark: Some 56 moves in a ♕endgame. If you get dozy it'll cost you.
<Number nine> |
|
| Jan-04-08 | | dumbgai: I've always hated trying to win queen endgames with a couple extra pawns. That defensive queen always seems to have so many ways to perpetually check your king, and you have to watch out for stalemate traps too! |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | syracrophy: Well, in the position after 92.♕f5 it's hard to make progress. If the black ♕ leaves the a8-h1 diagonal, the white ♕ will check and maybe a perpetual. It's not that easy. Can someone please post a possible winning plan for black? I find it really hard <Kibitzer Number 11> |

That defensive queen always seems to have so many ways to perpetually check your king, and you have to watch out for stalemate traps too!>> Not to mention the enemy Queen's awesome ability to escort a passer. Sometimes in ♕-endings the player with the further-advanced passed pawn wins without much ado, even when being down a pawn or two. |

| | Eggman: Actually, no, that's terrible. 94...g4?? allows the simple 95.Qc5+ Ka8 (95...Kb8 96.Qc8+! Ka7 97.Qxb7+) 96.Qa7+!, drawing. Going back to move 92, I guess just 92...Qc1+ 93.Kg2 Qf4 should work, e.g. 94.Qc5+ Ka8 95.Qc8+ Qb8 96.Qf5 g4!, and Black is making progress. |

 | | sleepyirv: I wonder if Reshevsky vowed never to let this happen again after this game... |
|
| Jan-25-09 | | Skoolboye: lucky number 17? |
|
| Jun-08-09 | | kevin86: I'm glad cg.com found this stalemate classic-first seen by me in Horowitz' book forty years ago.(CHESS TRAPS,PITFALLS,AND SWINDALS) Three pawns ahead including a pair of connectors-and black falls into the trap... Note how useful the lone white pawn is at a5 |

|
| Mar-26-11 | | Capablanca Fan: Doesn't Reshevsky always fall for stalemate traps like in the Swindle Of The Century game against Larry Evans? |
|
| Aug-01-11 | | BwanaVa: Reshevsky did have the unfortunate tendency to fall into late game traps, sometimes due to time trouble. Beyond Pilnick and Evans, there was Reshevsky-Byrne (
Reshevsky vs R Byrne, 1973) that lost him a US Championship playoff and hanging his queen in a won position against Savon in the Internzonal (Reshevsky vs Savon, 1973 ) |
|
| Aug-01-11 | | BwanaVa: of course, Reshevsky sometimes got some late game help...as in Reshevsky vs Denker, 1942 where TD L. Walter Stephens mistakenly forfeited Arnold Denker, then refused to reverse himself. |
|
| Apr-20-13 | | kevin86: The most famous pitfall involving stalemate in history! Pilnick is NO picnic! |
|
| May-08-13 | | Caissanist: Reshevsky does seem to have been a bit more vulnerable than average to stalemate swindles. Besides this and the "swindle of the century", another famous one was Reshevsky vs Geller, 1953 . |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: Let's see. Reshevsky falls for a stalemate swindle in 1942, and then again twenty-one years later in 1963. I wish I were that vulnerable to stalemate swindles. |
|
| Jun-07-13 | | csmath: I find this more interesting in terms of Grunfeld theory.
Obnoxious style of Reshevsky could have been punished here in the opening with 23. cxd6!!
and then 24. Rc3. It would more or less forcing of queen exchange on not favorable terms for black.
By the way the whole opening and middlegame white played cowardly. |
|
| Jul-17-13 | | jerseybob: csmath:Sure you don't mean 23.dxc6? If that's what you mean, doesn't 23..Nc6 24.Rc3,Qd4 at least hold? |
|
| Jul-17-13 | | jerseybob: BTW, on the flip side of this "Reshevsky falls into traps" model we're laying out here, he had a knack for pulling off amazing draws in bad positions. |

 | | perfidious: <jerseybob>: Resourceful was he, despite the two notorious examples on the short side of things from his praxis. |
|
| Jan-03-22 | | Mathematicar: Beautiful. |
|
May-03-25
 | | FSR: Reshevsky in a dead won position allowed Pilnick to swindle a draw by stalemate. Eleven years later, he let Geller do the same thing in Reshevsky vs Geller, 1953. Ten years after that, he allowed Evans to do so in Evans vs Reshevsky, 1963. Ten years after that, he played a very famous blunder (not stalemate-related) in Reshevsky vs Savon, 1973. In a position where he had a simple forced mate, he instead hung his queen, then resigned. |
