Oh, so you're also keen on it? Great! I use different engines under Hiarcs9
package and I also use Shredder9 UCI Classic because there's a very convenient
option called 'triple brain' when two different engines analyse the positions
and the third one pick up the move which it rates as the best. Sometimes it's
very useful when you can't be certain about which move to play because they are
more or less good. I use Ruffian and Shredder engines in this option. I tried to
install Zappa 1.1 as an UCI engine, but it doesn't house in Shredder Classic,
although Couzzie writes it's an UCI engine.

Wow! You're a tough player then. Much success to you in gaining the GM norm!

Well, I've scanned through the game text and I'd rather come up with two little
comments. I never play closed or semi-closed openings, although a game may
become closed, say, in Closed Sicilian which I have to play as Black sometimes
when White doesn't want to play the sharp lines. So I always open with 1.e4, but
I do play Nimzo-Indian and, naturally, have to play Catalan too. I don't think
it's the best opening to be played but sometimes one has to restrict the Black's
opportunities, working on trying a victory w/o much risk. Well, it was a good
game on the whole. You did a good job forcing a draw. Although, I'd most
probably play 9.Bg5 or 9.e5. Anyway, it was a good game. Well done!
