Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-03-04  Whitehat1963: Oops!
Feb-03-04  technical draw: I think white was going to lose a piece anyway. What tournament was this? English Championship Men over 15 feet tall?
Sep-27-05  mjk: <technical draw>In keeping with Prof. Rothstein's Principle of Maximum Confusion: the notation 15'5" can be either 15 feet 5 inches or 15 minutes 5 seconds.

This was probably a "game in 15 minutes" championship.

Dec-28-19  sea7kenp: So, when the Smoke Clears, How Much Material did White lose? Wow!
