Sweet Sixteen

Game Of The Week


I was playing in the Pikes Peak Open most of the weekend, so you get a quick game and a quick newsletter.

Interestingly, when you search the Fritz 8 database for games that end in mate under a certain number of moves, it will count resignations (if your opponent was going to be mated) even when the mating line exceeds that number.
