My young Australian opponent in this game challenged me to this unrated game. Beginning with an Owen Defence, events develop slowly to begin with, as Black (me) declined to make contact until the game was well advanced. Seizing the initiative with a K-side attack, Black spoils it with some inaccuracies that led to a close-fought slugfest in some rather strange settings. And Black wasn't having it all his own way. It took one obscure, and almost unnoticed, slip by White to tip the balance of a very near run thing. 'Waterlo' - not quite Waterloo.
