Yesterday evening, I played my second game in this year’s club championship. I was up against Mark Broom with the White pieces. I decided to take on his Slav Defence rather than the Petroff for a bit of variety. The game was tense, as both players ran short of time, although they really only had one chance each to gain a decided advantage. Eventually, they decided to bail out and agreed a draw.
I give the game below with some notes.
