Road to the Grandmaster title - Game 17 - my first Torre attack
I played a young talented Hungarian player Miklós Halák
He wanted to play the King's indian defense, but instead of 3.c4 I played 3.Bg5 the Torre attack.
He gave up the pair of bishops and I got a small edge, but I miscalculated and went to an endgame, where I lost a pawn, because I missed an in between move. I need to be more careful about this next times!
In the endgame because of my active bishops, I could win back the pawn, so actually my pawn bulnder leaded to a forced draw. Other way I would have an advantage in the middle game:
