Last Tuesday, I played Peter Harbott in the club knockout semi-final; this was the first replay as we had drawn the first game. The game was also a drawn after some adventures, so we are due to meet again next week in a rapid playoff.
I was Black this time and the game started with a Dutch Defence. After some early inaccuracies by both sides, the game settled down into a balanced middlegame. After a while, I managed to misplace my knight, which was the start of me getting into some difficulties. Fortunately, my opponent did not press home his advantage decisively enough, and I was able to create enough counterplay to draw.
I give the game below with some notes.
