  GrahamClayton: According to Tim Harding in "The Write Move - an anthology of the best writing on Correspondence Chess", Arounopoulos won a 24 move CC game in 1991 which featured no captures. Does anyone know of the score of this game?

"There is nothing left to do against a sacrifice on h3. OK, no high-class chess from White, but the motif - that you can win a game without exchanging a single pawn - is nice, isn't it?" --Arounopoulos
