That's was obviously the case from move 115 onwards?! 🙄

In fact, it should've been obvious after move 77. Black had a classic philidor drawing position.

That's what I was wondering.

Abandoning the a pawn, losing the h pawn and the little Rook shuffle on moves 62 and 63 looked very suss on first glance.

Anorak, you have a knack for finding the suspicious just about everywhere. I find that suspicious in itself.

Anyway, leave the post-game analysis to Mr TRAINS44 and myself. We estimate it's going to take until Christmas.

And if anyone here wants a tough good game, just play Mr. Bowmann. I can vouch for that, trust me.

Admittedly he has lost only one game out of 14 (Game 1040209), but in that game he needlessly sacrificed a knight on move 8 and proceeded to play on for another 66 moves until he was mated. Is this the play of a self-styled ~200 BCF (2200 Elo) player? Bowmann, what are your 200 BCF reasons for sacrificing that knight for no compensation when 8...h5 would have also satisfied your suicidal urges and 8...Nh6 would have saved the knight. And your 5...Ng4 simply gives duffers a bad name.
