• I never asked for perfection

    The following position seems to be an ultra-marginal D/T but it
    Axelises to a take.
    Despite the wrong verdict, I really like Axelisation here.
    The difference is 1 1/3 which is only wrong by 2/3 of a point.
    And, in practice, for a position this marginal, dropping would be
    absolutely fine.
    I like it that, for an ultra-marginal position, the final score is
    so close to 2, even though the coin toss landed on the wrong side.
