I participated in a charity simul today, my first game against a GM! I went into the game hoping to hold my own. I've included some analysis but would appreciate any comments pointing me towards where I could have gotten a better attack going. And I know I need to go watch the King+Paw

Elliot analyzed the game on Chess TV the other night. His thinking was that because it was a simul with multiple people and therefore time issues flipping between games, the GM played a London to avoid deeply theoretical openings and cut down on the thinking time.

You see this a lot in simuls. It is a way to avoid facing each opponents preferred system.
