Ennis round 2-3 with James Naughton and Mihnea Costachi - puzzles day 55
The round 2 of the Ennis tourney started at 10:00 am. Last night my game and the analysis with my opponent finished past midnight and later I had a dinner and wrote for the blog. The night was short 
James Naughton was my opponent. He played the aggressive Qb6xb2 line against the London system. I decided to go for an endgame to leave the complications.
I got a big advantage un the endgame, but then it went close to a draw. It was an interesting bishop endgame with an extra pawn which I managed to win in 68 moves. Our game was the last to finish and we got only 15 minutes break before the next round.
