The Catalan is very sharp and interesting. It leads to double-edged positions which seldom end up equal out of the opening. Which is why I'm studying it and trying to gain some experience before trying it out in otb chess.

This game went smoothly because my opponent blundered early on and just lost a couple of pawns, but it could've gone badly wrong since I was planning to play a blunder myself but never got a chance to:D
