Hilton Bennett Memorial - Game 2

 This mornings round saw me get caught in a surprisingly short draw. Having chosen a line against the Exchange Ruy Lopez that gives Black easy equality, my opponent played a move that lost a pawn. To be fair it wasn't a great extra pawn for me, but it meant I could try and grind for a win. That was until I overlooked a tactic which allowed home to sacrifice a piece for a perpetual check. The whole game took about 40 minutes, and so I had most of the day off.

It sounds like a rollercoaster of a game! It’s always tough when you get an advantage but then miss a tactical detail that lets your opponent come back with a perpetual check. Even though the extra pawn didn’t lead to a winning position, the lesson learned from the oversight can be invaluable for future games. Still, it’s great that you had time to relax afterward!
