| Mulfish: Well, I'd guess she's talking about somewhat higher level chess here, too. At the GM level two or three pawns or a piece vs pawn, absent compensation, is sufficient to warrant resignation. At the amateur level anything can happen, so you play on a little longer. In quick chess, ... |

Aug-19-04 Radjabov vs Anand, 2002
| |
| Mulfish: If they use the puzzle I sent them for Sunday, I'll be surprised if anyone figures it out, unless we have a few masters frequenting this board. I'm rated 1800 and had absolutely no clue on it. |

May-30-04 Bogoljubov vs H Mueller, 1934
| |
| Mulfish: The final game position is certainly resignable - exchange and two pawns is childs play at that level. Some of the preferable black alternatives are less resignable at our level but still pretty hopeless against a GM. |

May-11-04 M Walter vs G Nagy, 1924
| |
| Mulfish: 57. Qxe8+ Kxe8 may win for Black. Instead of notsodeep's 58...Rxa3, 58. Kf7 restrains the white bishop and prepares queenside pawn munching. Without connected passed pawns white doesn't have much play. It's hard to advance the separated pawns before black makes a passer on the ... |
