Mine is resting peacefully. I bring him a bowl of popcorn every now and then. It always disappears.

Dec-02-23  goodevans: Interesting game with both players sac'ing material to get a pawn to the 7th. One just sat there harmlessly. The other was a game winner.

Good pun too.

  fredthebear: Yes, good action to watch. White's push 19.a4? is a mistake that gave Black the time to remove obstacles to his passed c-pawns.
