Last week I had a coaching session with my chess coach on the English Defence. Coincidentally this is a black opening defence my coach plays and he had a game a few days later which featured this opening. Here is that game. It ended as a draw and I checked this through Rybka who agreed with best play from both sides only a draw would occur.
