I really fucked this game up from the beginning. I played an opening I've never played before against the Sicilian defense (3.Nc3). I just really wanted to avoid the main line against an opponent stronger than me (according to our ELO ratings). This was the final round. Overall, I was satisfied with my results of this tournament.
