    Would be nice to see his words on the matter though.

    Why have strong opinions about the game when he is not interested in playing himself.

    More bad news Boiledcod.

    Friend Rizzars appears to enjoy these games.
    Witness this joyful 182 mover, one of the longest games on here.

    The players had this on move 133



    It was finally drawn on move 182.



    Final Position.

    Good Luck.

    It looks like White was doing a "bishop's tour" of the 32 dark squares. Might as well do something while you're waiting. 🙂

    Black can't even throw away his pieces to claim draw on insufficient material!
    Must be boring and annoying but for an onlooker it's funny.

    182 moves.....how long did that game take?a year?2?

    toet.

    Not sure if this was obvious, but rizzers totally wasn't at fault here. Black was just being a jerk...

    Black could've forced a draw after move 90 with ... g3 ... e1=Q. In fact, Black played e1=Q on move 131 specifically to stop the 50 move rule. As already stated, some people just ruin a good game of chess.

    Don't let this endgame make you think "all opposite colored bishop endgames are drawn" though. That kind of fallacy leads to playing moves like 34. Bb4 in the following game (just completed):

    It's not a shot at my opponent - he played a fantastic game (completely outplayed me in the beginning). He just let his guard down once it got to opposite colored bishops - a mistake that's easy to make. Don't make it!
