1.e4 Nf6 2.d3 {I am not used to seeing this 2nd move response by White to the Alekhine. Rob Bailey explained to me afterwards that it is a very defensive move.} e5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Be2 h6 6.Bh4 g5 7.Bg3 d6 8.Nc3 Bg4 9.h3 Bxf3 10.Bxf3 Qd7 11.Bg4 Nxg4 12.Qxg4 O-O-O 13.Qxd7+ Rxd7 14.Nd5 Rhd8 15.O-O-O f6 16.h4 Nd4 17.hxg5 hxg5 18.Rde1 c6 19.Ne3 d5 20.c3 Nb5 21.f3 dxe4 22.dxe4 a5 23.Nf5 Bc5 24.c4 Nd4 25.Rd1 Ne2+ 26.Kc2 Bb4 27.Rxd7 Rxd7 28.Be1 Bxe1 29.Rxe1 Nd4+ 30.Kc3 c5 31.a3 a4 32.Ne3 Rf7 33.Nf5 Nxf5 34.exf5 Rd7 35.Re2 Rd4 36.Re3 g4 37.fxg4 Rxg4 38.g3 Rg5 39.Rf3 e4 40.Re3 Rxf5 41.Rxe4 Rf3+! {Going one pawn up and gaining a passed pawn. I calculated this (quickly) as a possibility on move 38 when white moved to g3. Considering I only had about 2 minutes left on the clock (approx) at the time, I was pleased with this combination. This, ultimately gave me the escape of a draw later on (because of time trouble)} 42.Kc2 Rxg3 43.Re8+ Kc7 44.Re7+ Kc8 45.Re8+ Kc7 {I did this repetition sequence to get my clock up to over a minute (after having only about 20 seconds left on the clock beforehand). I probably still could have played it faster and got it up to over two minutes.} 46.Re7+ {I wanted to move the king up and left to support the passed pawn and rook but I knew I wouldn't have the easy repetition option left to force a draw if I did so. After about 20 seconds of thinking, and having only 1 min 10 left on the clock, I decided to offer the draw, not wanting to risk a disaster by a rushed bad move. White accepted. The interesting thing about this match in the afterword was that the Chessmaster 10th ed. analysis engine rated both black and white's performances as flawless (without any error points - even though it stated that we each had 3 moves during the game which were good (i.e. without error), but had slightly better options), which I have never experienced in a chess match before.} {#d}
