Nigel vs Dane, Game 5 of the Second Boris Chessky Cup Head-To-Head

My opening felt ok and computer analysis shows the game to be pretty even overall until my 23rd move, Bd2.

Dane takes out the cup again, this time in a straight run with no losses.

Don't let it be said that I don't like a challenge!

First to 5 points: 
  • Dane: 5
  • Nigel: 0
