| Tactic101: Sure they did. What can you expect from two 2500+ players? Rarely get a chance like that. |

| Silverstrike: In the Edinburgh Congress 2005, a very similar game was played. White: Joseph Redpath

| Themofro: I beleive that this game was originally composed by Sam LLoyd in response to a challenge to come up with the shortest stalemate possible. It's incredible what Lloyd could accomplish when he wanted to. |

| waddayaplay: <acirce> I remember reading about this in some old magazine, and I also remember that both players were given an 0. I remember the discussion in the magazine. A Norwegian had sent in a reply to the magazine, saying he thought Swedes lacked a sense of humor for giving both players an 0. I agreed with the Norwegian person at the time, and I think it is typical Swedish busy-body mentality to punish players for moves made at the board. But I understand why they did it. |

| Discoduck76: I know these guys in person. Both are born in 1977 and are very close friends.
And of course they agreed about a draw before the game. I recall they often did like this in Swedish junior tournaments. |

11. Rxb1 Kh4 12. Qxh8 h5 13. Qh6 Bxh6 14. Rxb8 Be3+? 15. dxe3 Qxb8 16. Kg2 Qf4? 17. exf4 d4 18. Be3 dxe3 1/2-1/2 |
