Subject: Sjeng-Zappa

A very cute game I think, especially Ke7!!  Obviously this is a null move, but
it provokes Sjeng to try and open files with b4, and then Black gets a good
position, sort of like waving the red flag in front of the bull.  I was sure
that the game was going to be drawn after the opening with the OCBs, but Ke7
manages to complicate things.  I was especially amused by Zappa winning after
all chessplayers there (including myself) roundly criticized Ke7 :)
