i played a nice game the other day with a m8 offline - i swapped a knight and bishop for 4 pawns halfway through - ended up that i had
6 pawns, 2 rooks, knight, bishop, king & queen
vs
2 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, king & queen.

anyone have anything similar in their archives that i can have a look at ?

regards,
con

ps wish i had taken the position down in a notebook or something ...really was sweet😏
