Thanks - you’re very kind, I’m enjoying the game very much - though I’ve remembered how much easier it is seeing potential moves and how the game may unfold when just watching a match - as opposed to playing in one 😃

You play very well; logical and always pressing & probing - whilst also maintaining a solid base for defence. It’s intriguing to both watch and play against.

Well you play solidly yourself. Though I gained a material advantage early on, you still had pieces placed in such a position that left me worried. That’s why I almost forced the queen and rook trades. Sometimes the best strategy is to secure a material advantage, then trade till the little advantage becomes more significant. Even a one pawn advantage means much more when there are fewer pieces on the board.
