County Match (Open) 2013-14: Sussex – Surrey

Today I played my first serious competitive game since May, in a county match for Sussex against Surrey. Unfortunately, I proved to be extremely rusty, and made a serious error on move 16, from which I was unable to recover.

I give the game below with some notes:
