Sharing some positional thoughts here.

As black in an English opening I managed to get a nice Nimzo-Indian style pawn structure, with a "frozen" bishop pair by white. At one point I was just looking at one square and wondered whether I could put two horsies there. After some searching, the impossible was possible, despite the lack of space that black had.

Meanwhile my opponent did an all-or-nothing attack, which was the beginning of the end.
