I know some things about chess but I am by no means an expert. This is apparently some tie breaker game in the 2008 US Woman's Chess Championship. As you can tell by the video it starts off failry orderly but then quickly boils down to a quick flurry and the obvious emotional outburst by one of the girls. Ok, what the hell happened?
MP3 - I can't give a commentary until I've been told what happened so keep your filthy hands off of my desert.
-
Was that "Chess" or "Chest"?
-
Both, actually.
-
Looked like it all happened after the one in the glasses rooked to early then lost her Queen and temper.
Was brutal and fast.
*in Tulsa too*
:aok

Well, the film appeared to be sped up, watch the people in the background near the end of the tournament...
-
Relooked twice to see if it was sped up.... yer right, someone blinked once.
The one in the red, background.
-
I'm thinking they lost their temper because they couldn't wait to get the **** hell outta Tulsa!
Tornado! Run!!!!!!!!!
-
nope.
she resigned.
albeit very emotionally.
:D

And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

Irina Krush in Good Spirits After an Armageddon Match
Irina graduated from NYU with a degree in International Relations

Anna and Irina then entered into a playoff for the title (prize money was split). With dozens of players watching on the projection screen in the Commentary Room, and kibitzing fervently, the players split two Game/15 (+3 sec increment) games, which Gregory Kaidanov called well played. Then followed two Game/5 (+2) games. Anna was winning the first when she nervously put her queen en prise. She then had to win with black; and did so, sending the game into an “Armageddon” final match. Irina had white and 6 minutes, while Anna had black with 4 ˝ minutes and draw odds. No time increment. This game too went down to the wire. At one point Anna had 2 seconds left to Irina’s 20. But Anna’s draw odds gave her an edge. She could make quick moves while Irina had to do something with her moves, which drains time. In the end Irina lost on time with 0:01 left on Anna’s clock! It is impossible to have a closer match than this!
Congratulations to Anna for her championship, and Irina too, for such an exciting match.
