I think I played fairly well in this matchup. Started as a KID which I've been trying to stick to for my d4 play. There was enough early trades that I thought it would end up being a boring draw but it got interesting for a bit at the end.
13. Why would he take with the pawn rather than the queen and ruin his structure?
Judging by his play later it was to give a file his rooks could try and attack on. But I agree that taking with the queen, that's what I would have done.
