Preetham black and I was white.
We started off with the Spanish opening (Ruy Lopez), then I dominated the center of the board for a while also I was leading in the number of pieces. Slew of my mistakes later, Preetham taking advantage of them, we ended up with 2 pawns and the king on my side and 1 pawn, 1 rook and king on his side. A few moves/mistakes later, I had just the king and he had a king and queen. I was sure to lose, but I was just hoping for him to make a mistake and he did. He realized it as soon as he made the move and it was a stalemate. Draw! But anyways, it was a pretty good game. Pretty good opponent for me to start off with the club…
