Ha. Perhaps the guy in Chicago, who said I was so excited I got the date wrong, may have noticed that I said I got home after midnight. When I saved the game I wasn't much interested in correcting a small thing like the date auto-generated by Rybka's chessbase interface. True, I was excited but I just wanted to get to bed as I had to get up 4 hours later and go to work! Moreover, the game may actually have finished just after mid-night. But it wasn't like my wife was having a baby!

Had your wife been in labor, would you have finished the game first?
