I have always had tough games against Dix Roberts, and our game in this season’s club championship was no exception. I obtained a decent position out of the opening, but lost control of the position; in the resulting play I was extremely lucky that my opponent failed to make the most of his chances. Indeed, even in the final position he could well have played on; however, but then both players were very short of time, so he decided to bail out.
I give the game below with some notes.
