Played this game where we were within 0.2 eval the whole game except for one mistake I didn't catch. Closest game I've played yet; I won on time, it was 10+5.
Closest game yet
Sort:
lol it looks like your opponent just forgot to look at the clock,
because nothing happened in this game 
but "doing nothing" is an art... dubov or svidler or both actually talked about this topic... can't find what they said but this vid is similar concept : youtube lesson
It's good to do this against the London System, as you demonstrated. I think it's because the endgames are sometimes very comfortable for Black and because it confuses London players that are used to you "doing something". So well played!
When I get in to closed Italians in some lines I feel it's so positional it just dances around -0.2 to +0.2 the entire game, many more moves than normal, and the first player who "does something" just loses because it's like they crack... they can't hold the tension of this "nothing is happening"... Chess can be like that sometimes there becomes wild stuff after just a few moves and sometimes it will be a tense drawish game for many many many many moves
