| Sebastian88: Black's game is very accurate and interesting! Unusual variant prepared at least until the 15th move! Black also has excellent statistics in this variation. |

May-10-23 H Steingrimsson vs M Marin, 2015

| Sebastian88: Nope. They can't. The endgame tables make it clear that in this position all moves lead to a draw. The last real (for a human) chance was in 29.♖c2! |

| Sebastian88: There was a moment that could change the result of this game! A big mistake was 15...♕e7?? (instead of 15...exf5!) and the other mistake was 16...fxe6? (instead of 16...♘h2!), because Paul Morphy could have played 17. ♗d2!! [DIAGRAM] The knight is lost. It now ... |
