  • The longest "correct" mate is a mate in 271, composed by Nenad Petrovic.

  • Thanks

    I found it on chessbase

  • Very nice, but the position is illigal, because of whites two black-squared bishops!

  • Thanks

  • I often reach this position in my endgames, so it's a good one to remember.

  • great vid.

  • @ATravestyOfJustice Yes, but he cannot queen, because he has 8 pawns

  • @NielsHPO It's possible that white lost his light colored bishop and queened a pawn to become a black colored one

  • Ottó Bláthy invented the transformer in 1884

  • STUPID!

  • @KollingPwr huh yeah you're right...

    (I used to play Fischerandom but, as it turned out, not whit the official rules :)

  • @Katu1337 Nope. In the official rules of Fischer Random, the bishops must be placed at opposite colors, and if you refer to some Fischer Random sub-variation it seems to become a bit nonsense for argumentation :)
