In this game Black had a slight advantage, and never less than equal throughout, however,Richard mentioned that his opponent had very little time left when he sprang a final tactic on him, a very neat end to a good game.
I have not added notes as I have not the ability and using an engine to add loads of variations would take away from the game I think, see for yourself:
