|
Jan-09-07 | | rbelous: wow that sucks |
|
Feb-22-07 | | Sibahi: Woo .. one of the most famous Stalemate traps ever played and only three kibitzes ?? |
|
Feb-22-07
 | | keypusher: <sibahi> So @#%@%^ what? And now there are four. |
|
Feb-22-07 | | Calli: <key> I really wish people would stop with this kind of post, i.e. "What? No kibitzes?" or "I am so surprised that this game has only..." . They then proceed to say nothing of substance in their own post, but apparently don't see the irony in that. |

 | | keypusher: <Calli> Yes, it irritates me too. But you probably guessed that. Hey, now there are six! |
|

 | | JointheArmy: <keypusher> Make it seven :) I forget who it was who said
<Member since Aug-16-06 · Last seen Feb-23-07> you had 6 months to post on this game. Maybe it was <PinkPanther> or someone. |

Dec-21-07 | | xeroxmachine: eight! |

Jan-04-08 | | dumbgai: I've always hated trying to win queen endgames with a couple extra pawns. That defensive queen always seems to have so many ways to perpetually check your king, and you have to watch out for stalemate traps too! |
|
Jan-05-08 | | syracrophy: Well, in the position after 92.♕f5 it's hard to make progress. If the black ♕ leaves the a8-h1 diagonal, the white ♕ will check and maybe a perpetual. It's not that easy. Can someone please post a possible winning plan for black? I find it really hard <Kibitzer Number 11> |

That defensive queen always seems to have so many ways to perpetually check your king, and you have to watch out for stalemate traps too!>> Not to mention the enemy Queen's awesome ability to escort a passer. Sometimes in ♕-endings the player with the further-advanced passed pawn wins without much ado, even when being down a pawn or two. |

 | | Eggman: Actually, no, that's terrible. 94...g4?? allows the simple 95.Qc5+ Ka8 (95...Kb8 96.Qc8+! Ka7 97.Qxb7+) 96.Qa7+!, drawing. Going back to move 92, I guess just 92...Qc1+ 93.Kg2 Qf4 should work, e.g. 94.Qc5+ Ka8 95.Qc8+ Qb8 96.Qf5 g4!, and Black is making progress. |

 | | sleepyirv: I wonder if Reshevsky vowed never to let this happen again after this game... |
|
Jan-25-09 | | Skoolboye: lucky number 17? |
|
Jun-08-09 | | kevin86: I'm glad cg.com found this stalemate classic-first seen by me in Horowitz' book forty years ago.(CHESS TRAPS,PITFALLS,AND SWINDALS) Three pawns ahead including a pair of connectors-and black falls into the trap... Note how useful the lone white pawn is at a5 |

Jun-08-09 | | ughaibu: Sleepyirv: move 53 Reshevsky vs Geller, 1953 |

|
Mar-26-11 | | Capablanca Fan: Doesn't Reshevsky always fall for stalemate traps like in the Swindle Of The Century game against Larry Evans? |
|
Aug-01-11 | | BwanaVa: Reshevsky did have the unfortunate tendency to fall into late game traps, sometimes due to time trouble. Beyond Pilnick and Evans, there was Reshevsky-Byrne (
Reshevsky vs R Byrne, 1973) that lost him a US Championship playoff and hanging his queen in a won position against Savon in the Internzonal (Reshevsky vs Savon, 1973 ) |
|
Aug-01-11 | | BwanaVa: of course, Reshevsky sometimes got some late game help...as in Reshevsky vs Denker, 1942 where TD L. Walter Stephens mistakenly forfeited Arnold Denker, then refused to reverse himself. |
|
Apr-20-13 | | kevin86: The most famous pitfall involving stalemate in history! Pilnick is NO picnic! |
|
May-08-13 | | Caissanist: Reshevsky does seem to have been a bit more vulnerable than average to stalemate swindles. Besides this and the "swindle of the century", another famous one was Reshevsky vs Geller, 1953 . |
