In today’s road to 2500+, we hit a wall. We faced a positional player who initially started with English defense symmetric variation, then transposed to Maroczy bind. Both openings are known to be quite solid and positional. I as black had no chance to crack through, especially since in 10 min it is not easy to develop new ideas.

At first the game might look boring, but, at least gives some clue, how to not lose to positional players!
