The match started with an extremely quick draw on board 5. Points exchanged on boards 1 and 3 and halved on board 2 and with the match poised at 2-2 board 4 went to almost the full 3 hours. I had a slight edge and felt obliged to play for the win having been win less in my first 10 games of the season - definitely out of my comfort zone.
