Here is a small game from a recent LeChess club activity on ICC, 'Play the Master', where a LeChess member gets to play a one-on-one game Vs. an International Master. I played Polydamas the other day as Black, and after some opening problems was in severe trouble. However, looking for swindles in a lost position (see 'Chess for Tigers', by Simon Webb), I managed to find a neat combo that complicated matters somewhat [29)...Nf3+!?].
The resulting position was still objectively better for White, but the imbalance meant I had hopes for further complications. In the end, I managed a win due to a blunder by the IM. However, the position before blundering the rook was probably drawn.
A good result! Enjoy the game.
