Matthias.

Ke7 also.

I vote to resign also. There is no hope for a draw now.

Best,

Gerold.

[schlucke]

Resign!

[Steve B]

Resign!

Well we have two Resign votes and one "about to Resign" vote
and two votes for Ke7
it seems only fair to hear from the three CORE players who came here every day to keep the game going
Matthias and Gerold have already weighed in but we haven't heard from Ray yet
if Ray votes for a move i guess i will have the R30 Reply
if Ray votes to Resign as well then we will call it a day

Regards
Steve

The position now seems no worse than it was 2 or 3 moves ago. I see no reason to suddenly resign

But if that is the majority vote I'm happy to go along with it

In 4 -5 moves R30 will start to advance the pawns. No way to stop
them.

Yes I know, draw by 50 move rule isn't possible, 3-way repetition unlikely, and as I said a couple of pages back the game is lost. I would just have liked to have seen the Tasc press home it's advantage for a few more moves. But this is a majority vote, and if the majority is to resign now rather than later, fine with me. So, congratulations to the Tasc for a fine victory !

Thanks to everyone who participated
A special thanks to Ray,Matthias and Gerold who voted for moves each and every day and comprised the core of the forum team
they kept the game exciting for more then two months
i think the game proved interesting to many members judging by the view counts which averaged about 150-200 Each day
the R30 will now be stored away..probably not seeing daylight for many years to come

as for your humble operator..
i am taking a much needed break

Thanks for the game, Steve.

The game has at least taught us to cope better with the decisions of other team members where opinions differ.

Moving on now to Chess960,
Matthias.
