Dave Gordon vs. Azroy Kandan - Final Round 2019 KCC Championship

Here is my final round 6 match against Dave Gordon. We play a closed version of the Grunfeld Defense, with an exciting imbalance in the end game after Black trades his queen for several pieces. Annotation is based on my own perspective as Black. Please feel free to share your comments below.
