It's interesting, psychologically. Black is sufficiently dozy to drop his Q, and then everything else. Yet it seems the idea of a stalemate occurred some few moves before the finish, of which ...h6 was simply the setting move.
I find it odd (ie interesting) that such hopelessness still retained within it a readiness to plan, then successfully execute, an imaginative but improbable rescue.

Originally posted by atticus2Well, we are playing correspoondence chess, not OTB. This game took nearly a month. I don't find it odd at all that someone's attentiveness (or even simply health) comes and goes over that kind of period.

Originally posted by atticus2I think it's simply another example of the fact that everyone has strengths and weaknesses in their vision. I spotted the stalemate pretty much instantly here (though GP had written Stalemate in the title). I think most people will agree that they spot certain tactics quicker than others, all this game suggests is that Oshi spots tactics for his side but perhaps not for his opponents... 😉

Originally posted by Shallow BlueI certainly fit this description. I think some of my best efforts on the site occur in games where I made a severe but non-fatal error. There's nothing like that "splash of cold water" when you sign back on and check into a game that is dramatically different than what you remember when you left it.

That's it.
What has always bugged me about mirrors is how come we always
see the reflection as left to right and never upside down.
The mirror spins the image on the horizontal, but never the vertical.
Why?
(and why am I asking you lot of dopes when I should addressing
the Egghead Forum. OK I'll take it to the Science Guys.)
