Annotated by eaglei (1200): My first one of these matches. I had an opportunity to win I am told, but missed it somehow and ended up with a draw. Though I don't know much opening theory, I've come to like this opening move. An interesting response. Limiting the spots the knight can go but defending the center.

Annotated by johnb221 (1200): I'll try the Reti Opening he's not committing.. maybe d4 would have been better... he's going to put his bishop on g7 and castle I'll match that on the other diagonal just as I thought If he doesn't want the center, I'll take it!
