GOTW: Pere Garriga vs Adam Dorrance. WYCC u18

This week, I chose to analyse one of Adam Dorrance's game from the recently concluded WYCC. Adam put in a strong performance and is gaining around 150 fide rating points. I decided to annotate his last round game against a higher rated player. Adam played quite solid, and even outplayed his opponent with the Black pieces and gained some winning chances. Enjoy!
