... The one that got away.  Although it is probably just personal preference, I don't believe in playing for a win straight away with black.  You likely won't see me trying a Najdorf or King's Indian against a strong opponent in a tournament game.  

Especially against 1. d4, it really feels like black's best bet is to play for equality and then outplay his opponent later.  

At any rate... I did that here, but I ended up blowing it right at the end.  Hopefully you enjoy the game!
