1 i.d2?
Unfortunately this does not work. After 1
i.b2, with the idea of i.cl, White should be
able to hold.

This is a bad mistake. The ensuing bishop
ending is lost for White, since two of his pawns
are fixed on the same colour squares as his
bishop and moreover he has difficulties in activating
his king. The transition into a rook ending
by means of l ~f7+!@e8 (l...@g8?2 ~b3!
+-) 2 ~xf5 ~xc4 3 @e2! would have easily
held the draw.

Brynell had probably calculated this far and
was now expecting his opponent to resign. But
something different happened:
4 ... fS! 5 f4

@c7 and sooner or later White slides into a fatal
zugzwang.
