GAME 7, my most irritating draw
I try for attack. Not that I believe it will get me anywhere, but just checking to see if my opponent makes a mistake. He doesn`t and sooner or later the game evens out. After what I might call a very short game, he asks for a draw. I accept, even though I regret it soon after. I accepted, because at this time I am starting to think strategically. The lead poncho has won all his games and at the table next to me, table 1, Vidar Gjære has just been beaten badly. To stay in the race, I can`t get a loss at this time. And I am certain I will be the next contender for the lead poncho, where I believe a loss is most likely to happen. I regret it, because of the following: My opponent has a bishop and a knight against my two knights. Now the pawns are all over the board and he might be able to move faster across the board with a bishop against my knights. But with my pawns on the opposite color of his bishop I have a great advantage. Also, with two knights it doesn`t really matter where he places his pawns. I am still uncertain if I made the correct decision about accepting the draw in this game. (He ended up in 3rd place overall).
