I see.
Well, there are lines/moves in this line that seems good enough, but most of
them are not good to get a draw. It is a difficult line for computers as the
chances to loose the right way are quite high.

As soon as I saw you picked one of the loosing ones I understood you were going
to loose.

I think that in general you should be satisfied with the tournament result.
