It's been a while since my previous blog post, mainly because my enthusiasm for chess dropped to a minimum in the last few weeks, but here's the 9th post in the Berlin Wall series! Again, it's about a game I played online, but this time the title is a bit off, since neither side won. However, you could say I won the battle for the draw, because my opponent was 2560 FIDE-rated Grandmaster Julian Radulski. So a draw is not that bad for me, considering I had black against a 350 points higher rated player :)
Below is the game, and, well, although the game is not that spectacular, it shows how comfortably black can sometimes get a draw. I mean, in the game I was never worse, and he never really had a chance to win. How often do you get such an easy draw against a GM? :)
