Hi, if I was going to play a game as Black against a stronger player and was looking for a draw what should I play against 1.e4? I thought of c6 and the Caro-Kahn but I'm not very familiar with the opening or positional play either. The other option for a drawish game seems to be the Petroff Defence but White can avoid that with f4 and the King's Gambit. I've never been much of a positional player but I know if I face a stronger opponent I will be totally killed off in a highly tactical game (my prefered style). I thinking cautiously playing for a draw is best. Any tips on how I can do that?

This game is not much for tactics but is instructive in its positional play. Annotations by George Marco as they appear in the tournament book Karlsbad 1907 which was translated from German to English by Robert Sherwood. Annotations in [brackets] and ending in -RHS are Sherwood's. For his translation (published in 2007), Sherwood used Rybka to analyze each of the 210 games. To see the same game again but with annotations by Nimzovich, go to the chessgames database: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1003582
