Thanks Andy

Re: Livingston - hamish olson - 30-01-2016

Ian Robertson is playing a fabulous game vs Sanchez - beautiful Nd5! tactic followed by exploiting the pawn weaknesses ruthlessly!

Re: Livingston - hamish olson - 30-01-2016

(so far!)

Looking at G.Kerr v J.Watson in the Major. K+B v K+B+N+P.

Looks like it is going to come down to a K v K+N+B - can black find the checkmate?

Re: Livingston - hamish olson - 30-01-2016

Not if he doesn't know it! Suspect he will know it though.

Re: Livingston - hamish olson - 30-01-2016

did I give Ian bad luck?

I have a feeling I might be using the 75 move rule in that one. Longest game I have ever been an arbiter for was a mammoth 168 mover in the Commonwealth. This could take it close

clearly ian didn't play Ka4, and if Sanchez played Ba8?? after Kxc4 then Ian might even be winning after a6!

Can you remind me (and no doubt a few others) what the 75 move rule is again please? Its some update of the 50 move rule?

Re: Livingston - Andy Howie - 30-01-2016

The players can claim after 50 moves. The arbiter will stop it after 5 fold repetition or 75 moves, watching this one like a hawk
