I don't know if Chess Tiger's victory was so much a result of its craftiness, as
it was due to Diep's inability to leave the position alone. Perhaps the game
should go in the records with one of those fancy titles like Andersson's
"Evergreen". Perhaps this should be known as Diep's "Self-Immolation", a duet in
G minor (ideally played on a harmonica)....
