I think we played a very interesting game here. The biggest mistake I can find post mortem is, that I was totally sure to be on the right way for a draw with 76...Nb2. Well, I hope we'll meet again and then I will pay back! ;-)) } { pompey: Many thanks for a very interesting struggle, you are right 76....Nb2 was not the right move..I was seriously considering offering a draw, due to the fact that everything I tried you refuted....we will no doubt meet again in the future. Best of luck. } 1-0
