VS
It has been 11 months of our experiment in which we were playing two simultaneous correspondence games, one as white one as black, against the right good Reverend Marijan Procyk. Our moves have been the most popular choice of our readership. Each reader can nominate moves and can use any outside assistance to derive the move-except for the use of a computer engine. Meanwhile Marijan is not allowed to look at the comments. Rather he will email his moves, after I update these boards. Marijan has won the game in which we had tried a King's Indian Defense against a 4 pawn's attack.
It's Marijan's move in the remaining Caro Kann variation game.

OK guys here was Marijan's last comment,
ReplyDelete"I thought I was supposed to lose this long time ago. Now I am inclined to believe it will be a draw."
Draw offer. I certainly accept. (Finished before Easter?!)
ReplyDeleteIt was easy for me to make a mistake in this game, so I am glad it came to an end. It took pretty long.
Thank you all for playing.
