Nice game, illustrating that it's not always necessary to castle, as long as the King has sufficient protection, and is out of the firing line.

I read this article about English Grandmaster David Howell http://www.chess.com/article/view/howells-new-idea-by-gm-magesh-and-gm-arun
and it had the idea of not castling to keep the option of opening the h-file and attacking down the file with the Rook. So I had an opportunity in a game where the center was fairly close and decided to try it out. The game isn’t perfect from both sides, but for me it never is, so I know there are mistakes here. The game was 30|3
