Borodinskaya Bitva

Borodinskaya Bitva refers to the Battle of Borodino fought on 7 September 1812, between the invading French and the Russians. There is a so-inspired piece of overture known as the 1812 Overture, by Tchaikovsky. My opponent is a music composer and teacher from America, and played with calculated aggressiveness from the first move. The game saw some pretty fierce exchanges during the middle game, and like the battle of Borodino, it ended in disengagement, after both sides sustained considerable losses. The loss of minor pieces is nothing compared to the real casualties; It's just that even with the major pieces still on the board, I saw the lack of complexity in the position. After some thoughts, I offered a draw, and he accepted promptly. He's by far the highest rated opponent on GameKnot I played and a draw is satisfactory gua.
