Nov-05-11		ounos: The astonishing Rf1!! forces resignation

Nov-05-11		FSR: <ounos> Yes, perhaps the deepest move in the history of the universe. It is mate in 63.

Nov-05-11		CHESSERAL2008: what?? can you please show that it is mate in 63??

Nov-05-11		FSR: Dude, that was a joke. Almost surely Black did not resign after Rf1. Most likely the game actually continued for many more moves, the rest of which are unavailable. Or maybe the TD forfeited Black because his cell phone went off or something ridiculous like that.

Nov-10-11		karnak64: Heh: one of those Nimzovichian "mysterious rook moves" -- sometimes they work like Jedi mind tricks, I guess.
