Originally posted by Dance Master MC take a look at some of the boards English Tal is playing in the 1/0 sieges, does it look like someone is going to get a draw or win?
English Tal is only holding 1 board in the 1/0 seige and there are 11 players in the queue. I reckon at least 1 of that 11 will get at least a draw.
No one can hold it forever especially in a 1/0 seige.
Mind you I do like the idea of being able to "retire" unbeaten as it is not always possible to continue to take on these games.
Edit: I have just taken a board in the 0/21 seige from EveRyDay - Anything is possible!

well duh it's possible to get a draw against everyday for you, your rated 2000+! I guess I'm just jealous of your enourmously high ranking...

If its possible for a 2000 rating can get a draw against a 2300, it is possible for a 1700 to draw against a 2000 and a 1400 to draw against a 1700, so in 3 easy steps a 1400 has the board.
OK his chances of retaining it are less but he can win it.

I person like me could never hold the board, for longer than 5 games, although if you look at orange board 1/0 you'll see that I have a very good chance....
