Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-13-16  fispok: Although a characteristic position of the dragon by transposition, white holds all the chances from about 15 on, the bishop pair and the huge light square dominance is more than enough.
Apr-12-22  whiteshark: The last move was (probably) the sealed move and Black could calmly realize the absolute hopelessness of the position.
