and here i offered a draw as i canot stop the checks. I really enjoyed playing this game and is a common sort of game in the dragon. First white attacks down the h-file, then it is blacks turn to attack. Finally his attack runs out of steam but has the resource of perpetual check.Much more exciting than a boring draw in the queen's gambit! |
