		1 - 4

On board 2 as White, I managed to get to here after 28 ... b5. I quite liked my position, but went wrong with 29 Ng2. The whole point of putting the knight on h4 had been to prevent Nf5. The game continued 29 Ng2 Nf5 and I then had to decision to make - lose a piece or lose the exchange. Compounding the error, I chose to let Kevin decide what he wanted by playing 30 Rae1. Kevin, unsurprisingly, chose to take the bishop. I managed not to make any further howlers, and with each of us having 5 minutes left, had a draw offer accepted on move 43.
