Just to point out, Counterplay played this game like a moron (not to take credit
away from Junior, g4 was brilliant).  first of all, f6 by counterplay was just
dumb, opening the e file caused all this problems.  Not to mention the clear
plan was to push the a pawn home.  The black bishop controled a1, it was
virutally impossible to stop.
