To further my suspicion, it is almost certain the TheKing would have been pondering on Bf8, as it takes quite some time to see that Qe4 is "better", and probably would not have had time to do so during the game. I like that announcement, BTW. I'll be sure to use that in the next OTB game I play.... jm p.s. What I want to know is how Djenghis drew ANYBODY. It sure played some poor chess in the earlier rounds.... Well, I just looked at the game, and Djenghis actually gave away the win.... Sad.... p.p.s. And congratulations on beating Diep!
