It may turn out that one of the variations that bringer discarded as losing
material for black could turn out to be the only way for black to draw. This
possibility would then imply that the continuation that bringer deemed best in
part because it retained the material balance would turn out to be losing. Since
the above cannot be precluded from being true, bringers "conclusion" should be
taken with a grain of salt.
