Saga and Kanon

Saga and Kanon is a reference to the pair of Gemini twin brothers in Masami Kurumada's Saint Seiya. My two bishops and their combined influence in this game prompted the association. Some of the prided bishop actions were move 13, 25 and 27.

In this rematch with my Latvian friend, there were interesting complications like a frustrated rook, a knight move under cover fire, and a king bringing the ending battle to the enemy camp. There was also a part where the black queen took out my rooks quite like what happened in the Immortal Game (You can recap it here).

The ending of this game was simplified thru black's last two moves. It could have gone much more complicated and vexing for me. I would so love to discuss about that alternate time line in another entry, in honour of the beautiful envisioned moves by the bishop brothers. Til then, enjoy the replay of this one!
