{Game drawn by repetition} 1/2-1/2

At the point when I started watching, PM was showing +1.57 and Chester was
saying +0.38 (move 17). Then someone knocked on the door, so I was distracted
for a minute. When I looked again, I saw +1.53 and -0.35 and I thought, "Aha!
Chester sees how much trouble he's in!". Unfortunately on closer inspection
it was Chester who was positive and PM was now negative (move 20). However,
by move 29 it was PM: +2.03 and Chester: -2.39. A fun game to watch...
