The resignation at 19:41 only settles the played game. If Black had not resigned, and if White had played 35.Rxf6, and if Black had declined it, we would still need to know whether White had read his mail in that branch. Thirty-one lines is inadequate for a position with an unopened inbox.
Technically, we cannot call it outstanding defense unless a profile was threatened. If the photographer had moved to a fourth angle, and if the bird had remained facing away, we would enter the Declined Heron, a variation the board has regrettably refused to hear since it is not a heron.
The first six minutes were technically still Early Sitting, provided she believed the bishop might return.
If White had played e4, and if the next several moves had also been different, we would be discussing an extremely serious position. Instead everyone insists on discussing the position that happened. This is why opening scholarship receives so little respect.
If he had seen no birds, his cost-per-species would be undefined, and his interest in habitat could therefore have remained sincere. Unfortunately, he saw birds. A serious methodological error.
