The position below is was reached in game 4, after black's eighteenth move. There you can see what actually happened. White's next move, 19. hg4, allows black to employ a threat on a T-strike that never comes into being, yet brings black, who is a man down, what he wants: the game ended in a draw.
With e3 out, every white move except a move to g9, results in a capture. But g9 is a
dead end as long as black has moves like c5-4-3 and e65, none of which interfere with
the T-strike. There's a loophole for white however, and in he actual game this indeed
happened. The price tag was a black breakthrough that eventually resulted in a draw.
