At the end of this game there is insufficient material for either side to win, so why would black resign?

It couldn't be, could it, that this was a tournament game and that now both players progress to the next round? - surely not.

Perhaps for the same reason why white resigns in game Game 459976 despite having uncoverable mate in two.

what both of you say may be true ... but there is also more here than imediately meets the eye.

there was a whole thread full of stuff ... i believe it has been addressed and is being dealt with appropriately.

OK - I've been told that there is more to this than I know about so I'll say no more and await the outcome of what is already in progress.

No offence intended to anybody but I was intrigued.

She has good reasons for doing this, she frustrated pizzahut into a resignation of a drawn game, and for very good reasons I may add. Unfortunenately for skeeter, word is now out about the game with DNA evidence of a breach of TOS and sportsmanship, I fear skeeter may have signed her own death warrant, but then again, I don't think she really cares if she gets booted out for this, she doesn't feel like paying for the site anymore anyways, again, for good reasons, so just PM her to find out.

if you look carefully - you will see that the "...[text shortened]..." function actually made the text longer in this case...

I'd better get out more I think.

skeeter, I go to FW, I know why you did this in these particular games. I checked the archives, that's all you need to know. I'm not exposing your reasons in public forums because that will just make things worse, yes, I think you were the good guy (ugh girl) here, but others might not see it this way. . .
