  alexmagnus: There is something wrong about this bizarre game..
Nov-17-09  Billy Vaughan: Kosteniuk refuted the Petrov!
Nov-17-09  shortsight: Hmm, maybe Niaditsch had the misfortune of touching the d-pawn??
Dec-08-09  whiteshark: ...or touching ♖a8 instead of the ♙a7??
Dec-08-09  Aspirador: It was probly 2...Nc6 and then transmission stopped because moves were illegal and wouldn't make sense anymore.
Jan-27-10  Raisin Death Ray: Playing Kosteniuk and he gives up after three moves?!!

Is he nuts? I'd try to make it last as long as possible!

Nov-06-12  Sem: Yes, and preferably on the beach.

  AylerKupp: <whiteshark> If you're thinking that a player loses if he touches a piece that cannot be moved, that's not the case. Fide Laws of Chess section 4.3 "If none of the pieces touched can be moved or captured, the player may make any legal move."
Jun-27-15  masoudsad: I think Naiditsch ran out of time staring at the beauty of Kosteniuk!
Feb-02-22  JimmyVermeer: Why would transmission stop before 3...Nc6? That move isn't illegal.
