I appreciate his reflection but he put it into a wrong question. And all others
followed him on that road - to my big surprise - as if they all had no
understanding of chess.

The end of the 6th is not sensational because of the quantity of material left
or the number of moves being played.

The scandal is this:

There is no example IMO in human chess where a player - in that early stage -
sacrificed the "quality" (R against N or B) JUST to offer a draw!
