Danish Championship Round 2

In round 2 Jakob and I both surprised each other in the opening. Blind man’s bluff, sort of thing. At move 10 I played too quickly. Instead I should have played 10.Ng5, I think, and I would have had a nice opening advantage. When I started thinking deeply about the position, I realised that I had long term challenges and that I had no active plans. In other words; from more 12 I was playing for a draw. I was not overly impressed with 13…a5, as …Ra5-h5 would never happen. Instead I prepared for an opening of the c-file and offered a draw. Jakob accepted without serious thoughts.

    I really enjoy your posts with chess content, Jacob. Just like most of the silent majority, I suppose.

    Looks like retirement suits you, Jacob. 2.5/3 is a pretty good start.

    @Andre
    You and two others = a majority ;-).

    Seriously, any feedback, especially questions (can’t be stupid, though my answers are always dangerously close of course) are very welcome.
