E14 Queen's Indian: Classical Variation (4.e3) (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.Bd3 Be7 6.O-O O-O 7.Nc3 d5 8.cxd5 Nxd5)

This game is a rare draw in my team match games, actually it is currently the only draw I have played in a team match at Chess.com that is. In over the board chess I have drawn quite many times in a team match. The game below is from a team match called Friendly match and I played board one for the Himgouree's club, our opponent was Internet tim BASK Beograd. My opponent offered me the draw in that final position and because I thought that I am worse in that position, I accepted the draw offer. And I still believe that if someone is going to win that game, it is my opponent as my pieces are badly placed. It was kind of sad that my only loss and a draw in a team match happened in the same match. Well, only point losses so far that is. There will be more quite likely as I can't win them all. I always try to play for the win but sometimes the opponent is just better. Today I have updated the mate in one, two and three puzzle pages. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts.
