  An Englishman: Good Evening: A request for help--is one or both of these players a poker expert? If not, did one of them successfully bluff the other during this game? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

  Bubo bubo: <<kevin86:> DRAW, poker!> Good! But one may also think of HOLD'EM, as White's permanent attack on the 7th and 8th rank holds Black's passed pawns.

Anyway, a cool game with succesful actions from both sides: White calmly defends his king against a dangerous-looking attack, and Black swiftly abandons his failed attack in favour of regaining material balance.

Oct-06-14  Everett: A worthy draw. Like to see games like this.
Oct-06-14  joakf7: How about white moves his rukh to a3 at move 21 ?
Oct-07-14  Everett: <joakf7: How about white moves his rukh to a3 at move 21 ?>
