{Playing against the 'Drawmeister' himself, I had to be careful to get an even opening to have the chance to get a draw offer, so I prepared into a French line. (R.C)} 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Qb6 6.a3 c4 7.Nbd2 Bd7 8.Be2 Nh6 {I had prepared up until this point where I didn't really consider Nh6 and was hoping for Ngd7 where I had a trick to play after Bxc4. (R.C)} 9.O-O Be7 10.Re1 O-O 11.Nf1 Nf5 12.Qc2 Nh4 {Black offered a draw to which I accepted after a week long decision. The game could have continued after Ng5 but I have a habit of pushing too far against Patrick and then succumbing to his nefarious curse. (R.C)} {#d}
