There are many kinds of games. Sometimes we fight all-out and exchange blows with every move. At other times, though, we must play patiently and wait for the right moment to strike.

Tonight was the second round of the city league. It was my turn to play with the black pieces and defend.

The game was about slow maneuvering, careful positional play... My opponent lacked a concrete plan, so I managed to equalize in an active position. His time management was not so good, so he had to play the endgame on increment only, so he blundered in the end and I get to take the full point. We won the match 3.5-0.5
