Annotated by nyctalop (2166): I have to say I think this game is one of the better ones I've played so far on this site. My opponent created a lot of problems and I had to work really hard to round up the full point.

A rather tricky way to… |

Normal development so far. Interesting move. The database recommends 4... Nf6, continuing with development.… |

Another reason is that i like to show that my opponent is unable to draw only by exchanging and playing passive. There's hope for those that hate those boring play........... That e6-square is where a knight should be standing! Control … |
