15. Bxe7
Many of us lesser mortals cringe at so easily giving up the bishop for knight, yet Garry clearly assesses that the dark squared bishop is of little value against the isolani, since it is blockaded on a light square, whereas the bishop has a noble purpose removing one of the d pawn's potential defenders.

15. ..Nxe7
Capturing the bishop with queen just helps white double his rooks more quickly after Nf5! and Bxe7 leaves the knight on a poor square, after which Rad1 and the pressure builds.

For the next 15 moves Kaspy ties black down to the defense of his isolani. By move 29 it appears white has done all he is going to do against the d pawn.

30. h4 gives the appearance of a waiting move, yet it is not without purpose. Since black is tied to the defense of the d pawn, at least until the K reaches e6, white will be first on the H file.
After 31. ...hxg5 white has no obvious clear way to increase the pressure on the d pawn and thus seeks to create new alternate paths for his rooks, beginning with Kg2 (to clear the way for Rh1).

After move 33 the most interesting feature is the relative position of the knights. The black N seems poorly placed, but the white N has superior attack potential while limiting the squares available for the black king. Hence, Garry's choice to defend g4 with his king! He then embarks on a subtle strategy to overload the defense of the black pawns.

35. ...Kf5
to counter the threat of a pin with Rh6 and to add defense to the f pawn. The white knight proves to be an annoyance, yet black can not easily dislodge it. For example,
35 ..Ne5+?, Nxe5 Kxe5, gxf+ and Rh5+.
Black also does not want to lose a pawn with
Rh6 Kf5, gxf! gxf (Nxf4?? Rf6++), RxN KxR, Ne5+ Kf5, NxR RxN, Rd4!

36.Rhd1 might look like back-peddling, but white must not allow d4 yet.

37. R3d2!
White controls d4 while preparing to take over the e file. Again, Ne5+ is bad. White can trade knights and check on e2, trade pawns, and lift the other rook to d4.

After 39. Rde1 black does not have time for d4 as 40.Rd6! threatens mate at f6 and R7d6 fails to Nh6++.

41. Rh7! Again, the mate threat.

42. ..Nh8 Testimony to the horrible position of Ng6. white continually finds new paths to the black king, who is desperate to find flight.

45. Rc6+
Blacks position finally collapses. Obviously not
a) ..Kh5 Rh6 mate. White also mates with
b) ..Kf7, Rf6+ followed by Rxg5+ and Rh6++. Alternatives drop a rook (and eventually the knight) with the idea
c) ..Kh7 Rh6+ and Rxg5+ Rf6+ Re5+

And no connection, of course, with the homophone bare = strip.

Impressive cliffs, and they made the list of the top 18. But Kalaupapa in Hawaii is much higher than either.

Here is a link to the list. When you look at #17, try not to think "Skanks' Booty"

I don't doubt it: actually, I expect it ... expect to find that the highest, tallest, biggest, etc is in some other part of the world.

Thing is, my generation in Ireland were taught that this country was utterly mediocre ... all the highest and best things were elsewhere,

And then, in the past 20 years, they found minerals in the ground, oil and gas offshore, huge waves on the west coast, great food and drink, and much more. We had to grasp the concept of being good at certain things.
