ICCF-USCF/WS/23W08

Finished up another USCF correspondence chess event.  This was a small quad tournament which was very fast played which wasn't my favorite way to play these types of matches.  When the position got into the middle game and seemed to be even I just asked for a draw instead of play thru it.  Most people on USCF correspondence are will to take the draw rather then losing an major rating points.   All in all it wasn't to bad.

My game against Robert Irons was a wild game that could have gotten a crazy win for either side.

14. Nd6+ was a brilliant move!

Thanks the idea was to either trade out so I get the paired bishops in the endgame or screw up his castle too. Sadly though I was up 2 pawns I have no King safety and he has more activity with his pieces so I was glad to get a draw on this one.
