Last weekend was the Illinois Open in Oakbrook, IL and I entered relaxed. I was joking with Mark and Tony about getting paired with a GM in round 1. I said I will play 20 moves and let that guy off the hook with a draw because he is a professional chess player.

Well I was half-right I got the GM in round 1 with the White pieces and we played the Moscow variation of the Sicillian. I got to the drawn position on move 47 and lost on move 48. I let a golden opportunity get a way as always I welcome analysis and commentary and then I will post detailed notes on this game at a later date. I am still working on this game and checking current improvements and innovations.

The time control was Game in 2hrs plus 30seconds added after every move.
