In contrast to our aggressive friend who likes to finish quick,I was happy to get this draw.
Playing an undesired position for some 10-15 moves with,as evidenced by the bishop shuffle,no plan,no ideas,no nothing at move 40 I find a way,using the a-pawn as bait,to get a drawn ending.
So the game may have some value after all
