Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat! this game shows why sometimes it pays not to resign even when in a bad situation. |

i think this opponent has done some homework and spotted that I've been playing the Torre attack a lot recently. h6 prevents my usual 3.Bg5 |
|

|
|
3. e3
|
...so I'll try something different this time. |

if Bxe5 exchange is taken white will gain a material advantage so Bxe2 likely here. |
