I believe the Elo for White was 1602. For Black, 2572. That's a spicy meatball!!

After 18 moves this was a standard Sicilian position, from the Kan.

White began to "play out of his skin."

White ended up with 2♘+♙♙ for a ♖.

That is ANOTHER spicy meatball.

The redeless king was wont to go to the centre; natheless to stop these Black pawns by himself.
