A computer programmer that I sort of knew popped into my mind during the following blitz game. I did not know him well but he had a reputation as an excellent debugger and trouble shooter among the project leads and the developers or coders as they are called these days.
Tom Holmen was logical guy that would explain his love of chess. Toguho, a monkey from Finland, played weakly in opening, dropping a pawn for nothing and then just running his h pawn down the board neglecting his development.
His punishment was the lost ending you see where White has two minor pieces for the Rook and will win comfortably. Last I heard, he was doing HR work and liking it, but we ended up in different countries so it has been awhile.
