| offramp: This was an epic game. This was Iceland v India. White was 2472, Black 2612; so a heavyweight game. I think Abhimanyu Puranik played the opening hoping that the game will get complicated. But when all the skirmishes were over White had a definite advantage.

White has a healthy extra pawn (the b-pawn survives to the end, BTW). The rooks are as happy as Larry on the d- and e-file. The ♗ at e6 is a menaceIIsociety.

Sadly there is a drastic forced mate starting with 50...Qc2+. Very unfair!
The god of justice, whoever that is, deemed that a draw was the fair result.
With hindsight, Black had one PUBLIC ENEMY number 1: the ♗ on d4. It attacked and defended at the same time. The drastic solution by Helgi Ass Gretarsson would have been
