Have you ever won a game of over 20 moves with all your pawns on the board?
That is just to explain some strange moves of mine!
Not yet, I have not done it. Game in progress. Might not even win it?

Over 20 moves? I believe thats impossible, but I could be wrong.

Over 20 moves? I believe thats impossible, but I could be wrong. I expect that is quite possible if the opponent resigns. Never resign if your opponent has got all his pawns: you might never hear the last of it! |

New maxim. Never resign when the opponent has all his pawns! Even it is a certain loss (cause of an early blunder: not always as bad as they seem!) can be ameliorated by making sure one of his (the opponent) pawns is taken, even if it means a Queen sacrifice!
I wonder if somebody could design a computer program that could go through computer games to see how many % times a player has won with all his pawns, not counting when the opponent did not turn up.

I've won. I have now both won both a game when I had all my pawns and won a game when the opponent had all his pawns and both exceeded 20 moves!  |

Whoops! I can't count. In the last game, I took a pawn without thinking about taking it. The game was not won at that stage, so I just was not thinking about it. I've won. I have now both won both a game when I had all my pawns and won a game when the opponent had all his pawns and both exceeded 20 moves! |
