Ha. What a roller coaster of a game. For most of the game I was thinking that White’s bishop on b2 was the worst piece I had ever seen, but it ended up being a supporting hero in the end. 🙂

Hi! First of all, thank you for seeing my game. I always place my bishop in b2 if you notice or see my other games. It is said that putting it in b2 felt its power there even though it is block by its own pawn in the beginning game but powerful in the endgame. Here in this game, show its example how felt its power.

I hope you enjoy it as well as I am.
