I'm really not impressed with this at all.
Another reason why I hate computer generated draws!
Wasn't there a case a few years ago of an American brother and sister being drawn together in a tournament in Scandinavia? And the result was a 14-move capture-less stalemate?
No such nonsense from the Burnett boys - that was as far from a peaceful draw as it gets. Highly entertaining and full credit to Andy for pressing on after missing a much easier win (well so Houdini tells me). I reckon even Tania would have been impressed.
