Yes. The reason I love it is that each player got his (its) moment of glory in
this game.
But above all, the way the GM escaped is really exceptional.
During the game, most observers at KC started to congratulate me around move 25
or so (I was following the game live at KC while sending my comments to Frederic
Friedel at playchess.com).
I told these guys that it was too early to congratulate me, that the opponent
was a GM, and if he is a GM it is because he is able to find resources even in a
lost position.
See what happened...
Still, I love this game. It is beautiful.
