This month of Feb is the 4th death anniversary of the best friend that I ever had, the Man from Talim - Noel Olvida. This game is for him.
I was unfamiliar with the opening and I miscalculated and lost a pawn. That was the start of my downfall.
On 3... Be7:
According to Chessgames.com, the main line is 3... c5 with 2,119 games. I actually considered that move but I am unfamiliar with the Tarrasch set-up, so I decided to play a waiting move, 3... Be7, which is useful in a Q's Gambit Declined. Incidentally, 3... Be7 has only 14 games in the cg db.
