This is a 960 game I played recently which ended in a draw. I certainly didn't expect it from the way we were playing, though. The game jumped into high gear at move 5 when I saw I could create a discovered attack and force his king to give up castling rights. After that it was just a matter of putting together an attack, but that proved to be extremely difficult.

Thanks. I feel like I botched the attack, though. Still trying to figure out where.

You gave a variation with 55...Rg1.  The variation you gave is a win for white.  Within that variation, 57...Rg2 wins for black.

Yeah, you're right. I got lucky with the draw. Embarassed

I'm thinking the variation starting with 11. Nxd5+ was the way to go. It seems like I would have had a better attack.
