In all seriousness.. I got serious in this match, turned off my music and disabled the chat. I really wanted to win and get some points (this guy was rated 200 points higher than me). This is really how I need to play EVERY online match. The game ended in a draw... I missed a move in the endgame which probably would have won me the game. The move was 56 ...Qd4 !! instead of ...Qb5. The opening was a bit unusual to say the least... I'm not very familiar with Reti-type Openings. On move 41 I found the only move I could make to stay alive (possibly even a winning move) ...h2!! I need to analyze the game with Fritz... I might write more posts about this game.
There will be another day!
