107 moves later, the worst ending ever!

The longest game I've ever participated in comes to an infuriating and ignominious end only a handful of moves away from the mate.

in my views you r a champion.

           the attitude of leman was not good. if you r a good chess player, you should have the capability to face defeats because it is the part of the game.

Someone pointed out the fact that my opponent, Leman, still has zero losses on his record.  I hadn't realized that unrated games didn't actually show on a players record.  I now think it's fairly safe to assume that Leman deliberately let the game timeout and by doing so he was trying to make it seem as if he was not beaten in case anyone browses his game history and sees the loss.  Perhaps he doesn't realize that any chess player could discern within seconds that his position is hopelessly lost?

He was brave enough to issue a challenge to a higher rated player, but not brave enough to play a game that will impact his rating or his record.  As I said in my annotation, my opponent was all class....
