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?
