When playing higher rated opponents, there are many oppourtunities to learn.

Trying out a new opening, the Ruy Lopez, I was jumped head-first into a game where I missed several common Ruy Lopez scenerios, chances for a clear advantage, and at the very end, I missed a draw.

Rating of players here is between 1150 and 1350.

I have annotated the game and will attempt to learn from my mistakes.
