Aug-03-04  Knight13: Someone offered draw too early. But it looks like draw anyway. Good game.
Aug-29-04  Giancarlo: What do you mean looks like a draw????It's only 18 moves in. I think they just didn't want to play a tough game like so many games in tourney's etc. There's no way any game is drawn after 20 moves, so don't say that.
Aug-29-04  Giancarlo: Alright then
Aug-29-04  Knight13: Okay, <Gaincarlo>. I'll try to offer a draw less than 20 moves some day.
Jul-30-05  Helios727: Geller, Petrosian, and Keres took all draws against each other in this tournament even though each participant had to play each opponent 4 times. Fischer said this was cheating.
