| kevin86: It was great to see this one again! The final position looks like black's view-so the pun really fits here. Rare to see how often a player has ALL eight pawns while her opponent has only three! |

| Jim Bartle: "Rare to see how often a player has ALL eight pawns while her opponent has only three!" What's even more interesting is that they're all in their original files, no doubled pawns. |

| babakova: Thats very very weird... I have NEVER seen a pawnchain that long h7-c2... Its like that song by the pretenders "back on the chain gang". |

| ChessPieceFace: as someone who sometimes falls into the trap of disrespecting my own pawns, this game is a pretty amazing reminder of why not to do that! but (and here's where i may get laughed at), why isn't it a draw by repetition between moves 53-57? |

| YouRang: <Jim Bartle><What's even more interesting is that they're all in their original files, no doubled pawns.> If I were a nit-picker, I would point out that black's b and c pawns switched files, so they're not really on their original files. Of course, nobody likes a nit-picker. ;-) |

| Eficko: "but (and here's where i may get laughed at), why isn't it a draw by repetition between moves 53-57?" it wasnt the same pos 3 times, on the third move bacrot moves to ke6. Cool game btw :). |

| 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.... |

| 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. |

| 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... |

| GilHamilton: <Phony Benoni> Gufeld vs Kavalek, 1962 ? |

| Eficko: <YouRang> no probs. i didnt quote it properly with his name in the first place. |

| kevin86: I think that the chain after move fifty is even more impressive:a6-d3-h7 |

| 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." |

| WhiteRook48: Polgar loses to Bacrot???? How did that happen? |

| chessamateur: <WhiteRook48> Bacrot was a young and upcoming star at this time and went on to become an elite GM. |

| WhiteRook48: how come Black kept all the pawns for so long? |
