Ignotus Peverell

When I escaped with a stalemate by threefold repetition of the same position, I asked V "Who was that someone in Harry Potter who cheated Death?" That pretty much sums up how lucky I was... or from V's perspective, how patronising I was while basking in the glory of a fugitive that got away unpunished! Indeed I should have been punished right after I lost my light bishop in a fork check. Lesson for me, always watch out for the b5 pawn move. Something that is mildly interesting is that the game opened with the Philidor's Defense. It is a defensive, stable but passive and I think "drawish" kind of opening. It was almost my first love as black. Anyway, in case you are wondering, that someone was Ignotus Peverell from The Tales of the Three Brothers.
