It’s funny to get to a class B player (on the internet) by winning a game I was trying to tie at one point. It’s also funny that what I thought was a poor choice by him not to tie was actually still a drawn end game, and it was his next move, trying to equalize too soon, that cost him. Either way, it was well fought. I need to work on a few aspects of my game to stay up here.

I really like the complexity of this game. I would say the main themes are central control from an offbeat opening, capitalizing on poor opening play by gobbling up pawns, and smart piece trading.
