Mike Serovey Draws Mikel Peterson, A Chess Master!

Here is the other game in which I drew a master in tournament play. I haven't been able to draw a master since then, but I haven't played that many masters either! This is a rather long game because the master didn't want to give up a draw to someone rated about 600 points below him! The complete game, with analysis and diagrams can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/MikelPeterson-English.html. I am rather proud of the fact that my opponent was never up by more than a pawn the entire game! Here is the game in PGN.
