Dec-11-02		refutor: they had grandmaster draws is 1788?! ;)

Dec-11-02		Sneaky: Even stranger, it seems like Black can win, just by "working the pin." Look: 14...Bxd5 15. cxd5 Bc5 16. Bc3 Rxd5 17.Re4 Nf6 -+ Or am I missing something?

Dec-11-02		Sneaky: OK, White has Rd1 instead of Re4, that might work out a little better. I still like Black's chances.

Jul-02-04		acirce: This is the first draw under 20 moves in the database.

Jul-03-04		vonKrolock: it's highly probable that what we have here is a game fragment, found somewhere whith the remark "and the game was drawn" etc (still subject to confirmation)

May-24-05		sneaky pete: Incomplete game, probably drawn after many mistakes. Black DID win the near duplicate (difference with this version is 14.cxd5 Bxd5 0-1) D Bowdler vs De Beaurevoir, 1788, but this might be a mistake. The Oxford Encylopedia gives 14.cxd5 Bxd5 ... ? 1/2-1/2 meaning: remaining moves are missing, game ended drawn.

Feb-11-08		just a kid: This is a win for Black!Why did he take a draw?

Oct-26-08		Kiborg007: Missing only queen and few pawns, other pieces are still there. It's a lot of combinations in game for both.

Jul-24-09		just a kid: I think part of this game might be missing.
