Uly - 64x
Re: Ovyron - 64x
Just wanted to let you know that it may take me a couple of days to respond. I have been playing by hand from my blackberry (travelling) but I think is time I check with the computer to see how I am doing.
I will reply when I get back home.

Re: Ovyron - 64x
No problem, take your time!
Ow, I don't think I'd have the guts to play like you've been doing. I'd still put the "unclear" stick on the position, probably drawn, but wouldn't it be epic after all this if I won? That idea keeps me going.

Re: Ovyron - 64x
It would be epic indeed! 
It would be my most enjoyable defeat ever.
I feel confident that I can force a draw (thank God for online tablebase access at Shredderchess, online pgn viewers and the always dependable magnetic chess for the plane
). I know what I want to play next, but it feels that I have gone for too long without comp assistance and is starting to give me the heebie-jeebies.

Oh yeah? I always enjoy giving this challenge to people that claim they can force a draw (though this time I know it's very probable that it is the case):
I challenge you to send a long conditional line, where I can choose to deviate at any point
Accepting the challenge has its risks, unless you can force the draw and it'd make no difference and just speed the game tremendously (e.g. if I see the line goes to a draw and there is no escape, the game ends on the spot).
You can take as much time as you want to decide, of course.

Re: Ovyron - 64x
I deserve you making this challenge after what I said. And I have enough respect for you to know better.Let me re-state: "Ï seriously hope that I am not royaly screwing this up and what my very primitive heuristics tell me is a draw is in fact a draw".
Also, I most definitely do not have the skill to build such massive conditional.
In other words: I respectfully decline your challenge Next move is basically forced so I will play it anyway: Rxc2+
Re: Ovyron - 64x
Oh well, it was worth a try, ain't it?
Anyway 58. Kh3
And if it relieves you, I'd have played what you played since move 38., where I would have played 37...e6 instead, so the black line was probably optimally best, no idea about the white line, perhaps it was me who screwed it up

Re: Ovyron - 64x
No harm in trying!
Thanks for disclosing. Definitely makes me feel _a lot_ better.
I think the next move is also quite forced: d5

Re: Ovyron - 64x
Well, we all know that Bxd5 would be an easy draw, considering that you could play pseudo-randomly into a position where I could have 2 extra pawns but in 6men tablebase draw territory.
So we get this instead:
