Road to the Grandmaster title - Game 11 - Last minute blunder in the Dutch Defense
Yesterday I played with Ukrainen player, International Master Anatoliy Polivanov, rated 2374
He played a strange Ne4 move early in the dutch defense. We got a stonewall position, where after favorable exchanges I got the better position. He had some attack on the kingside, but after a good defense I won 2 pawns. There I got low on time and started to make inaccuracies.
I got a queen endgame with 2 extra pawns, but he had a strong passed pawn. I made a miscalculation and a big blunder to lose instead of a draw or a win.
It was really painful and I decided to work on my calculation and my physical shape:
