WL began with P-K4. AO replied with the Sicilian Defence.

Below was the state of the end game with White to move; what should he do?

Well, White continued thus: 1 Qe4 Rf4; 2 Qc2 Rf4-h4; 3 Nc3 Rxpch; 4 PxR QxPch 5 Resigns.

WL played 1 P-K4. AO replied with the Sicilian Defence.

This was the position at the end game stage.

Inevitably, Black's superior position led to a win.

Denver discussed the WL-AO match (see posting 82 below) with AO and, after a few moves, both agreed that Black was in a better position to win.

The Sicilian Defence between AO and WL ended in a draw at the closing time of GYM.

This was the final position at closing time.

With White to move, any suggestion on a possible outcome if the game was continued?
