{ Sevian was dead to rights in this game, but Pragg overestimates the value of
Black's exposed king and underestimates the danger his own is in. And as is
often the case after the losing player forces a draw, the previously winning
player goes to great lengths to avoid settling for the draw, even if it means
blundering away the draw in the process. }
