    Game 6861711

    Why in the world would white resign here? It looks to me like black is mated soon.

    That is absolutely bizarre

    36. ... Rb1+
    37. Kf2 Rb2+
    38. Kg2 Resigns

    Why did white give up in a won position? Have you emailed Nowakowski about it?

    Does Black have counter play after 38.Kg3? Or is it mate with Rf5?

    Not that I see. 38.Kg3 39.Rf5
    Black can delay it by giving up material but that is sad.

    There must be something I am missing. I am only 1400, but I solve tactical puzzles daily and this one is bothering me!

    The position is a clear win for white, but Nawakowski has "private reasons" for resigning, and is not willing to share this w/ the forum.

    He saw the win, he just didn't play it because he had some previous agreement with his opponent. This in itself is not cheating and I don't believe any cheating accusations have been made in this thread, have they?

    BTW White has a forced mate in the final position.

    I don't see how losing = cheating.

    So if I resign early I am cheating too?

    I have a couple games that I want to unload, but I guess that would be cheating?
