Edinburgh Congress

[Hugh Brechin]

Very appropriate date for Mr Tweedie and Mr Redpath to play such a game :\ :\

I trust the arbiter awarded this game as 0-0.

Well, unless they both entered unexpectedly on the final day it actually happened a few years ago. But I've always thought that that game doesn't necessarily imply a prearranged draw - the argument being that both players know that backwards, know that the other one knows it, and that 1.c4 (though was it not actually 1.c3?) is tantamount to a draw offer that was accepted by 1...h5.

Plus, it's a pretty cool game. Optically neat.
