A36 Symmetrical English vs ...g6: 4.Bg2 Bg7 (1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 Nc6 5.a3 b6 6.b4)

I guess this game falls into category weird time losses but maybe not as much the one game I am posting tomorrow. Well apparently white is clearly better according to Stockfish but maybe not winning and I would not resign in this position as black if I ever got to this position again. I was able to move in almost all of my Chess.com Online Chess games today which is a rare feat these days and I am happy that I managed to do that. Tomorrow I am hoping to go through all or at least most of my Red Hot Pawn games. It is around a hundred or more games I need to make a move in there. Almost every day it is the same with my Chess.com games or rather that is the amount of games where it is my move. Mate in one, two, three and four puzzles have been updated today so please take a look in there as well.
