Anyone else looking at this? Stinker of a thing to defend and I don't want to put the mockers on Martin, but he's doing well so far.

Yes, I was watching and admit to understanding very little of the many evaluation swings from win to draw. My confusion was perhaps best summed up after 86 Rh4. I had the Hebden-Willow board lined up alongside and when Jonah played Rh5+ for a split second I saw two black rooks lined up against Balaji's g5 pawn and thought black could play Rxg5 mate.
