KWRegan (mail) (www):I needed only 2 clicks. First I clicked on the midway move, 94.Bd8, and saw White was substantially worse. Then I looked for a non-checking Queen move by White to the edge of the board, and 154.Qa2(?) sprang to sight. Surely Black is then simply winning with 154...e3! Not even bothering to check that with an engine...nor to click anything else ;->.

Icepick (www):Okay, moves 37 to 72 are almost as ridiculous as moves 35 to 55 in the game Jan Hein Donner v Jan Smejkal, Wijk aan Zee 1975. And if I had played this as anything other than speed chess, I'd hate the game not just Queen endings!
