My quickest draw ever...

I know that there are a few forced draws out of some openings (the only one that comes to mind is the Baltic defense). I just played this game and it is drawn by repetition in 17 moves.

3/0 time controls

A surprisingly fast draw!

For future reference, a bind like structure usually sees white play Nc2... Nb3 like in a Najdorf makes sense with f4, but after f3 is already played I'd probably opt for the c2 square.

I don't know what you're used to playing, but a maroczy bind is a lot of fun to play vs someone who's not familiar with it Smile

13.Kf2 looks interesting (maybe too dangerous?) but for sure worth a try in blitz hehe.  Black needs d5, b5 or f5 for play -- you took away d5, he took away f5 (for the time being), and if Kf2 doesn't allow b5 then white is doing really well.

I plugged the position after 11...Qb6 into an engine. It actually likes your move Kf2 Cool

I tried to figure out why 12.Na4 was bad and figured it was because of 12...Nc2+ 13. Qxc2 Qxe3+

What's wrong with 13...Qa7? How does that lose a pawn?

Maybe Qd2 with Rd1 to follow -- I dunno, but I certianly like white.

Really a fast draw, but if you cannot improve your position - or you think that - why not? ;-)

Mmm... so... "congratulations" xD
