Hi Tamdao, I must confess, that was my first stalemate.
Certanly I have nothing but compliments to a great contender like you. I wasn't planning the stalemate, like you well said, I wasn't giving up. I tried the best I could, but at the end I saw myself .....alone. I was going to take that bishop as last unnecesary efort......when I saw a little possibility, if I just held myself back to take that bishop and Tamdao tries to promote the pawn for a major victory........Stalemate! ......I didn't see it until the last move.
My friend.....was even more surprissing for me.
Great game Tamdao!
What would you do as white? A win seems out of the question, but how about a nice draw by stalemate?
A friend is white and isn't giving up, smartly so. I'm black and blinded with the prospect of promoting two pawns to beautiful black queens. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get that far. Here's how one little white king trumped an opposing king, a queen, a bishop and a little pawn racing to glory.
