It's interesting that Junior twice had the chance to repeat the position, but
didn't do it: 23...Ba2 (...Bg4 was played), also 25.Rc7 would have been a
repetition but Junior played Rab8. Usually, a program will take the chance of a
repetition if it evaluates itself worse. I don't know the setting and Junior's
evaluations, but while watching the game I thought Junior must be optimistic if
it avoids those moves mentioned.

I always hoped Junior would launch a king attack, eventually sacrificing the
queenside pawns, while too many of Gulko's pieces - so it seemed to me - were at
the queenside... Maybe next time (when Junior will have White).

If you had the final position with Black in a correspondence game, would you
offer or accept a draw, or continue?
