In this game, NM Giri employed the London System, and I decided to answer it with the Symmetrical Variation but rather unsure when the symmetry will stop. But we are allotted with 1 hour, so I patiently tried to figure it out over the board and kept my focus on avoiding any positional weakness; pawn formation, piece coordination and K safety.

This draw vs National Master Cabellon is dedicated to my best friend Noel Olvida on his 4th death anniversary.
