Portsmouth Chess Congress 2013: Game 3

Here is my third game in the Portsmouth Chess Congress 2013 - a Sicilian Moscow variation 3. Bb5+ I'm never sure what to do when faced with this, so will have to look this up on YouTube :)

Finally on move 27, both of us unsure of how to continue, a draw was agreed :)

As usual, any comments welcome ...
