After the sixth move, by my count. And why would anyone play 2. Ke2 if they wanted to win?
- PeterisP 5y agoWell, the last normal move was the actual double-bongcloud, after that it was just the draw process. > Why would anyone play 2. Ke2 if they wanted to win? In order to have a fair (though whimsical) game from an unusual starting point; it would be interesting to see the game that develops from that position.
- yesenadam 5y agoThe first part of your comment is just goalpost-shifting, the second part not answering the question. (Your 'starting point' is after 2.. Ke7, which black would never play if they wanted to win.) Anyway, bye, sorry I got into this.
- ramshorns 5y agoOne might imagine it'd be a draw after the fifth move, but the position after 1. e4 e5 is different from the position after 5. Ke1 Ke8, because of castling rights. So the threefold repetition doesn't occur until after 6. Ke2 Ke7.
