Draw with an International Master

The 4th Mangalore FIDE rated all India Chess Tournament is in progress at Mangalore. The 2 nd round is just over and I have reasons to be delighted. My game  with an IM  Praveen Kumar C (rating 2395) ended in a draw. This is my first encounter with an IM (who is rated 436 elo ratings higher than me - my current rating is 1959 and it is declining!) and the result is pleasing especially when, I have not been playing regularly for the last few years. That is also the reason why I am in such a hurry to post this on the blog, as the euphoria may not last long as more games are to be played in the next few days.
Here is the game.
