1 move blunder
I lost to Evan Timothy at both PCA Grand Prix Open 1st Leg and 2nd Leg.
GP1 was a blunder in an inferior position. But at GP2, I got following position as Black.
Black was a healthy pawn up and after some nice play in the middle game. Now instead of …Nc2, I played Bxe5?? and my position collapse in a few moves thanks to all the dark square weaknesses and a few minutes left on my clock.
Luckily Evan was not available for GP3 as he was playing in the ASEAN Youth event otherwise I might get hat trick loses against him!
