B73 Sicilian Dragon: Classical System without 9.Nb3 (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be2 Bg7 7.O-O O-O 8.Be3 Nc6 9.h3 Bd7 10.Qd2 a6 11.Rad1 Rc8)

This was played in a team match called friends of chess 3. It is an ongoing 21 board match between TRUE CHESS LOVER and *Haddad ROYAL CHESS CLUB.. The score in the match is 6,5 - 33,5 in favor of *Haddad ROYAL CHESS CLUB.. which of course means that the winner is already clearly known. I played board two in this match for *Haddad ROYAL CHESS CLUB.. so I was in the side of the winners this time. I did not play particularly well as I lost this somewhat easily and only won the other game due to a timeout. Well, no moves were made in the other game, so anything could have happened.
