As I have mentioned in a thread in the general forum:

I actually find that the draws are the most interesting. A very close battle towards the end where both players try and gain the inituative (even trying in subtle ways). A fight right to the very end.

EDIT: Of course, I am talking generally. 😉


Sicilian Smaug posted some great examples:

Game 2492939
Game 2310376

I thought this will be worthy of its own thread.

Here is one of mine (edit: which even included a queen sac to recover from a mate threat):

My fifth draw against a GM (lets not get into a debate about whether he is or not).


Game 3445082

Uphill struggle all the way, but managed to get it into an inevitable bishops of opposite colours and a rook each and four pawns endgame so it was book draw.

Game 3291218

I gambit my pawn with the very intention of getting a nice attack -- by move 8 I realized I had nothing for the pawn -- But Ne5 kinda forces a draw (after a bishop sac)


and thats that as they say.

Game 2539043

I should have lost this game, especially after my stupid move 22, which should have been Qh3f5, which would have saved her.

Two pawns down from move 59 played out until move 82 when draw was finally accepted.

Phew it was a hard battle to get that draw.

Wow, what an insane game!!! White could have won though, there was no reason why he couldn't play kg3 to escape check. Even if you take the white Queen on the following move Rxa8+ wins...

EDIT: From this position...

28..Qe3


29. Kg3 ..Nxc6
30. Rxa8 ..Rg8 (or ..Ng8)
31. hxg8Q#

also after 30.Ka3, black can just move his queen back and forth to get a draw
