Olympiad Expo Classic Round 8 against Victor Hugo Collado | Reti Opening

Today I played with  Victor Hugo Collado, a young player originally from Peru, currently living in France and working as an elementry teacher.

He started with 1.b3 the Larsen opening, but soon, he played Nf3, g3, Bg2 to go to the Reti opening. I played the d5,c6 setup to block his bishop. In the middlegame he got weak squares on d4 and f4, my got one on f5. Slowly my position became better, but in his time trouble I gave up my advantage and went for close to equal endgame. He allowed me to go to a rook endgame with an extra pawn. The endgame was still draw, but after a bad king manover my pieces became very active and I was able to convert the advantage to a victory.
