This game is incredible. 
And I will like to point out a beauty of this game that a previous poster
does not see (and probably does not understand in chess either)
A rook and king cannot mate a king. So I can potentially in R and K vs R,
K and pawn sacrifice my rook for the pawn for a draw. 

The use of the W1-4 squares to force a draw is beautiful, like the
stalemate threat in regular chess. 

Yes, this game will have a lot of draws between EQUAL players but draws
are NOT A problem with chess . Only draw offers and the fact that openings
are making the game played out is the real problem with chess.
