here is position recently attained in game with friend from Columbia. it struck me
at the time, that all i needed was a little bravery (thanks Mariska!) and the
willingness to believe in the aesthetics of the position 🙂 , (thanks Macpo!)
any how, after the fashion of the master, i tried a positional sacrifice which
worked out well,
