      It's always satisfying when the king saves the day in the endgame. I played a game recently where I was dead lost, only king left, but opponent made a mistake with positioning. Opponent had bishop and knight, he chose to put them next to each other, one square away from my king. I move king beside the two, bishop couldn't defend knight, knight couldn't defend bishop, other king was too far away, therefore fork, therefore one of the two will be taken and that is a stalemate by insufficient material. My favorite non-win ever.

Timman lost but it was a nice match. I actually saw 2 games of K and T in Zwolle Netherlands. Timman was one of the very best players in that Era. You can look it up.

    US football analogies do not cut it. This is like a soccer goalkeeper, taking the ball from his penalty area to the opposite field, dribbling past the other team’s defenders and scoring a goal (see: Chilavert). This is not a king run where the king runs to safety,so, this is not a more plausible goal-keeper goal where they go forward for a corner kick or a penalty (still rare). Thus, a super rare Chilavert style goal.
