Watch this game http://queenalice.com/game.php?id=317435. It is literally and figuratively going in circle. Has pi(3.14) got something to do with it? :-P

Nice

This game should be dubbed the waltz of the monarchs.

Yowee! Look at THIS :-P

Black plays 31... Kf6?! but 31... Re4 32.Rc1 Rf4 seems much easier to me.

Here, Black plays 47... Kf5? but 47... Ke5! wins easily. 48.Ke3 or any other king move 48... b5! 49.Kd3 (49.cxb5 Kxd5 etc.) 49... bxc4+! 50.Kxc4 51.Ke4! 0-1

Since, in the first diagram, White is a pawn up, we have to ask where he lost the game. It seems to me that 26.g4 is better than 26.f4, which was played in the game. It looks like Black is already better there, though.
