A36 Symmetrical English vs ...g6: 4.Bg2 Bg7 (1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 Nc6 5.Nf3 e6 6.e4 d6 7.O-O Nge7 8.d3 O-O 9.Be3)

I tried to play some blitz today against a friend of mine and the games were quite horrible, I play either play too fast or too slow. Well from the six games we played, we both won three of them so pretty even match up in the statistical way of looking at things. I guess the games should be more interesting this way, I mean if either side would have dominated over the other one, it might not have been all that interesting to either of the participants. As usual this has nothing to do with the game I am showing you now. The game below I assume has ended around four months ago, I never remember if it takes the date when the game has finished to be in the pgn-file or the day when the game was created. The day when it has finished seems a bit more logical though and probably is the correct date put in there.
