This was a small blunder and should have cost me a pawn (e.g., 16. exf6 Bxf6 17. Bxf6 Nxf6 18. Qe2 Qc7 19. Qc4 Nd5 20. Ng5 Re8 21. Bxd5 exd5 22. Qxd5+). Better would have been 15. ...Bc6, which I also considered.

{Game drawn by mutual agreement} 1/2-1/2
All in all I'm reasonably happy. Other than move 15, I don't see any major blunders, which was my main objective going into the game.

hardly any contact b/w the armies and an early draw by agmt with lots of play still in the position.
next time fight it out! :)
I agree completely. I was running out of time, and had convinced myself I would make a mistake (which was in itself a mistake!), so I wimped out and took the draw.
Next time I'll fight on regardless. Nothing to be learned in a draw like this.
