Re: Durrr in process of losing 60k+ in a chess bet.. good month for raptor

Also, how does Curtains rate his edge in this game? Did Durr ever have a chance or did he just bet 60k drawing stone dead.... [/ QUOTE ] 'i win 100% of the time in this bet' -curtains

And he originally wanted to play a GM down a knight... What convinced him that this was in any way feasible?

[/ QUOTE ] you really have to be quite bad at chess to ever lose with a rook advantage against anyone. just play defensively and force a bunch of trades -- they don't all even have to be even -- and you'll be unstoppable in the endgame. this is why chess is a terrible game to handicap -- a single pawn advantage would be enough to make any competitive player a favorite against the top gm's in the world.

Re: Durrr in process of losing 60k+ in a chess bet.. good month for ra
I don't think your average Simon Sundayplayer has a chance against an IM even with rook odds, so yeah, this was pretty awful for durr.
I think I could at least draw, probably win, an IM if I had rook odds.
