A Bittersweet Result
I'm sure all of us have had similar circumstances. We're paired in a tournament with someone rated far higher than us in a key game. If you're anything like me, your 'must win' feeling definitely overpowers your 'no chance' instinct.
Here is a fascinating game I played on chess.com (finished today) where I was in a 'must win' scenario. I had already dropped a game to my opponent in this tournament, and so a full point was required to move on.
Thankfully, I had white.
Sadly, I didn't win :P.
It's a fun game to watch! Very accurate, and incredible defense of an inferior position by my opponent.
