A fast opponent who plays a tricky opening they know well makes for a tough opponent indeed! Here Black hits me with the Fajarowicz Variation of the Budapest Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ne4!?), and my unfamiliarity with this sub-variation shows as I start to burn clock time. Interestingly, Black plays for compensation in the form of simplification rather than the initiative, and an ending arises that amounts to a race against the clock for me!
