D35 Queen's Gambit Declined: Exchange Variation (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 Be7 6.e3 O-O 7.Bd3 Nc6)
The game below was played in a team match called ☼ The Farm ☼ vs Historical Association. It was played on 72 boards and I played on board 8 for Historical Association. Luckily other members of Historical Association were in better shape than I was during this match and we ended up winning the match with a score of 67 - 77! I was only able to get a draw out of the two games I played against MENTAC, though I had chances to win the game below. My poor technique meant that I had to agree to a draw on move 78. I might have had some small chances in the position where the game ended but as I saw or at least thought I saw that my opponent could easily draw this position, I agreed to his draw offer.
Today I played in the first round of a tournament at the chess club where I occasionally play over the board chess. The time controls in the tournament are 1 hour for 40 moves and 15 minutes to the end of the game. I played with the black pieces against a friend of mine who likes to play the King's Gambit. Before the game I thought I probably should avoid it completely, but when we started to play, I replied his 1.e4 with 1...e5. It was no surprise that his second move was f4. I think I managed to get an ok position from the opening but later I did one careless move which gave him a bit too much initiative that I would have liked. When the first time scramble started he made a sacrifice that I believed to be completely losing for him and it would have probably been the losing sequence if I had played correctly after the smoke cleared but I did not and kept making bad moves and in the final time scramble, I had to resign.
