Yes . . . gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=x1769416&mv=6&rnd=0.04103549966493325 Which can be seen to be a very silly game by both players. So let me ask the Question again, as from that time; Does anyone know the circumstances whereby these games infiltrate the database? A Joke or sorts? A fictitious scoresheet turned in for some prearranged Draw? Or by players with a bye, and no real game that round perhaps? |

Or someone registering a protest... But in the game posted by myrydin, isn't it van Wely's opponent who played like someone at a level 2100 ELO below his nominal rating? Perhaps in protest at van Wely's propensity for stats manipulation. Never trust a statistic anyway. If it's not telling lies, it's telling damned lies... |

Anyway, I once played a game against an opponent who did not seem to realise that he had played and lost an identical game before. I was almost tempted to crack a joke about when he plans to break from his previous line. I'm glad I didn't because he also gave a rerun of his resignation. Weird world. |

Reruns Happen OTB, Too! In Okinawa, I once played a 1900-rated player in a Grunfeld Opening Thematic Tourney where he fell into an opening trap losing at least a piece. Three weeks later, I played him in a blitz tournament the night before a major event--same opening, same result. Finally, in the event itself. the same opening mistake appeared yet a third time. After he resigned on move 12, I gently suggested that maybe he should look up that line, given that he had lost in it 3 times. He claimed he did not remember the first two games at all!! |
