The 'Second Variety' Novel of SF-grandmaster Philip K. Dick

Post by Tommie »

The 'Second Variety' of how to lose unlosable games
is nothing compared to SF-grandmaster Philip K. Dick's novels.

Only the title of this thread reminded me of his novel with the same name.

The first one can be found here 'What chance to lose this game?'

Thread titled '[url]What Chance? http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/show ... ht=byoyomi[/url]', initiated on 2007-09-12 10:27 PM by Tommie with

Hence, the question is,
'How could one (I) lose this game?'

I cannot load it either (I guess this problem stems from GoDiscussions.com being partially defunct).
I retrieved it after googling for the most likely search terms in GoDiscussions for a thread
where I posted an 'un-loosable' game.
I comprises a picture of the actual board, after my opponent told me 'time',
awaking me from pondering over which of the last 1-pointers would be better.
(I cannot find this thread anymore on GoDiscussions)

I rested baffled. However, it was a nice game and did not affect any others.

In the game of this thread, a whole team was affected.
