Final round of the 4 game match here. The SD comes in with a 3-0 lead so the Lyon 68000 really needs to make a dent here to get a performance anywhere close to the 25 rating points that separate them according to SSDF testing (thank you SSDF). The opening chosen by the Lyon, a D20 Queen's Gambit Accepted, is not objectively the best chance for it to score. In any case, the game is not lost until the Lyon essays 40...b5. After that the game is all over. Ke7 is the only move here that doesn't lose. The Lyon 68000 couldn't find it at game in 60.
