Playing a Master
A couple days back I had the privledge of playing a correspondence game with a National Master here at chess.com. It's rare I get the chance, so I looked forward to the opportunity. As I suppose you would guess, the one and only game I had ever played at correspondence time controls vs. a master in the past was a decisive loss, despite spending countless hours strategizing and calculating. This game ended a little differently. I've annotated it fully for your enjoyment.
