Game 6




The match has ended in a draw after a well fought final game. In response to Salty's Exchange Spanish, I prepared an interesting novelty suggested by Craig Evans, A.K.A LeSacAttack on ICC. It is an improvement over a Morozevich game, and is the move 12)...Qf4!?, aiming to provoke weaknesses on White's Kingside and keeping the Queens on maintaining an active middlegame. The novelty worked well, and equality was soon reached. There were many interesting moments throughout the game, many of which in the post-mortem were suggested to be winning for one of us. However, having briefly reviewed the game with Fritz, the computer maintains the belief the suggested continuations lead only to slight edges. Analysis will hopefully prove or disprove this belief in the near future when I work on it.

Many thanks to SaltofLife for playing me in this match, it was a very exciting fight, and I have gained a lot from it. Now I am open for a new match, so if anyone is interested please send me an ICC message! :)
