Grab a mug for this test, because the road to it is bumpy. White takes the g5 pawn with 3.Bxg5, the queens are off by move 8, and Black’s knights spend the rest of the game checking the white king around the board.
Test your self with the critical FEN position after 28. ..Rd2+ how should white proceed for 29. .. / should they fight for a comeback or prepare to resign?
8/pp5k/8/4pp1p/4n2P/1P2P2P /P1PrKP2/5B1R w – – 1 29
I wish you the best of luck!!
