This is the game I played tonight in my first OTB tournament. Overall, I thought I played alright, apart from 12. Bd7, which meant that from then on I spent effort defending that bishop with my rooks later on. I was pleased with not losing my first ever tournament game, and for a while I could see it was a draw. I offered my opponent a draw late on in the game and he declined but then he accepted after 47. Kb8 saying he expected me to play 47. Rh3.
