I don't think my nerves are good enough to watch another Polgar end-game. at
31 black seems to have resolved his immediate problem, and both players must
now calculate the cost pawn raids to their own position. [37] a pair of
pawns have dissapeared which changes the nature of the games since both
sides now have a passed q-side pawn.

black makes the time control, but after exchanges drops another pawn, so
endgame is bishops of same color, 3 black pawns and 5 white, though white's
bishop is currently out of play
