Subject: A draw against Gandalf 4.32h

Author: Jeroen van Dorp

Gandalf played with it's own book under the ChessBase GUI.
Tournament control 40 minutes/40 moves (2x) and 40 minutes for the rest of the
moves.

I played it on my DGT-board on my balcony and it became so dark that I had to
guess where the pieces were (no light because of the bugs!).
So basically around move 35 it became blindfold chess for me :)

In a regular tournament I would have been excluded because of the numerous draw
offers. Gandalf tolerated it.

Some useless comments by me added to the game score.
