Be3 unfinished, though I think we can safely say a win for black, I can't remember ever arguing about any adjuducated game - like "oh, I don't know, I might be able to fight on from here" - that's right, I remember now, Bill always used to leave at a certain time to get home, he just used to pick up library books, play a couple of games with a young nohoper and amiably buzz off *
