This is what happens when you don't resign

Andrew Chen had a wee bit too much fun trying to checkmate his opponent with four knights and a bishop. Another student of mine promoted to two bishops of the same color. Of course, in both cases, the opponent could have avoided the ignominy by resigning.

  1. This is cool and entertaining. You should publish the game (or at least the last few moves for us to enjoy). If I was black, I would have resigned before. But once Andrew tried to get cute, I would play on hoping for a stalemate.

I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:

1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.

I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
