Remember my series on the "passive-aggressive cowards"? Today I had the occasion to play against one of the dreaded set-ups in an OTB game. Time control was 1 hr 15 minutes with 30 seconds increment but no extra time after move 40. (I would assess this as slow rapid chess.) My opponent was rated 300 points higher. I think the game contains some instructive mistakes but also the lesson that Black can get away with almost everything against this kind of play... Enjoy.
