Talk:Immortal Draw

Reference for the name?

After checking eight references for Immortal Draw, the only one I found is in Golombek's Encyclopedia of Chess, and it is a different game - Alekhine vs. Reti, Vienna 1922. The article needs to have a good reference for the name, otherwise it needs to be changed. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 18:21, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it needs to be changed, how about Hamppe versus Meitner or similar? Double sharp (talk) 06:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Something like that, and it probably needs to include "chess game", e.g. Hamppe versus Meitner (chess). Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 14:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Levitsky versus Marshall fared perfectly well without the (chess) – I don't think this needs disambiguation, and I don't know of anything else that might be known as "Hamppe versus Meitner". Double sharp (talk) 14:43, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts: we have Poole versus HAL 9000 (chess), which is pretty unique too w/o "(chess)", it does give add'l info what the article catagory is, which is nice if the name appears in a list or a search list, but is that its function, is it WP convention, *is* there WP convention, should there be consistency, or ... doesn't it matter?

It does look like White has winning chances in the 12.c4 line, but do we have a RS for this? MaxBrowne2 (talk) 08:56, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now we do, though not when you posted this. (It's been added to the article.) :) Double sharp (talk) 17:44, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
