I’m a big fan of Amatzia’s unusual ideas.
I have nothing to complain about with this construction (4 points).
I suggest we call the surprising «refusal of capture a queen» the «Avni theme».
I hate stalemate studies, but this one is as good as it gets. 6. f4!! is for the books, as Steffen writes.
3,5 points, and I was tempted to give four. But in the end, I would like more thematic unity.
