Resigns.

I completely miscalculated that last sequence.

Good game nonetheless. I wondered when you made that pawn move if you just had a lapse in concentration or didn't think about the en passant move.

Exactly. These are the same as the discussions about who is the GOAT in the basketball world. In chess we have an advantage in that we can analyze with computers, but invariably there is always some different variable that mixes up the order depending on how you program the analysis or what algorithms you use. But invariably you get some mix of Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, Capablanca, Botvinnik, Alekhine, Lasker, and a few others, and then Carlsen gets thrown in the mix as well. It is an argument that will likely never be settled. For me the top 3 of all time, in order, are Fischer, Kasparov and Capablanca. Top 5 would include Carlsen and Karpov. Of course, as always, imho.

Here is the wiki page with a lot of these comparisons:

That wiki page is great, thanks a lot. And it shows a lot of different opinions and approaches with all having some valid points. It is really hard to decide and it is very subjective.

Mine top 5 maybe would be,

Kasparov (overall)
Fischer (strongest ever, could be best if...)
Capablanca
Karpov
Anand

Looks like it's almost the same with your list.

I love Jonah's game, and I think he's a very interesting player. Also, I think I'm better than OB, and I can't wait to try and prove that next time we play. :p

Finally, there have been 19th century correspondence matches that took less time than Enes v. Babe's match.

I realize there are better players here than I presently am. Eyes is stronger, and I'm wanting to think carefully about mt moves now.

I'm trying to finish my farm work at season's end, plus my business has turned very busy. I'm in CA again on a fast trip, needing to get back to SLC tomorrow

Apologies to those interested, and waiting.

For some reason it messes up the coordinates when you use the "flip the board" option along with the click-able url. I couldn't figured it out yet. As a solution, I keep a pgn rotation of our game in a notepad file and copy-paste it to the "game replayer" tool on that website each time I make a move and then I click the "Copy this position to the Diagram Generator" link, so when I flip the board for the black viewpoint it doesn't become wrong in this way. If you'd like to do the same way, I can post our PGN rotation in my posts every time like I'm gonna do in this post.



1. e4 d6
2. d4 e6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Nf3 Nc6
5. Be2 h6
6. a3 a6
7. h3 Be7
8. 0-0 0-0
9. Bf4 b5
10. Qd2 Nh7
11. d5 e5
12. dxc6 exf4
13. Qxf4 Bf6
14. Qe3 Be6
15. Rad1 Bxc3
16. Qxc3 Qe7
17. e5


The PGN notation, it's essentially the same with the notation we use but the spaces and small mistakes in ours make it unacceptable by the site so I correct it and keep it in a notepad file.

I agree you're better than I am. Even blind squirrels fine the occasional nut. However, if you'd like to prove it, it's your turn to be white.

I could come up with a lot of excuses, but frankly, I think you just outplayed me. Well done.
