Bd2 Qb6 { Louis Lima: i enjoy the subject of tactics - i used to have a site dedicated to the subject, but haven't updated it in over a year. Too busy with work and family these days. Also, I decided to continue working on the site until I reach an ELO rating of 2000 with USCF. Hmmm, hopefully it won't take me ten years to get there! : ) http://chesstactics.wordpress.com/ } { MichaelDV: Nice website! I am more of a positional player, maybe I need to work a bit on my tactics } 12. Qxb6 axb6 13. a4 Rfc8 14. b3 Nd7 15. Rab1 Nc5 16. Nd5 Bxd5 17. exd5 Ne4 18. Be3 Nc3 19. Rbe1 Nxe2+ 20. Rxe2 Ra6 21. Bg5= { Game Over: You are very kind. OK, I'll take the gift draw. I think my plans of running the Comrad's 57 mile marathon in Cape Town next year pales in comparison to the effort I would need to fight for this draw : ) } 1/2-1/2
