No need to apologise. It was still an interesting game. Watching you go over your thought processes in difficult positions was fascinating to watch and very insightful.
Somehow my gut feeling is that white should have thrown the f pawn forward earlier and sacked a piece on f5 or g5. But I'm also a chicken and leave the calculation to the machine. :p Thanks for posting the game anyway! Looks like Rasmus is soon going to participate in an open I'm also playing in... who knows, the extra bit of information about him from this video might come in handy!
These things are clearly very subjective. One of the things I really value as a very mediocre club player is stronger players streams of consciousness. I find this shows that they are often as unsure as me but also, and more importantly for me, is what they pay attention to in the field available to them. Therefore .... I really like your reports as I like the authenticity of it. I also like it that you present all games and not just the ones where you win. I find I learn much more form games I lose and in that I am spoiled for choice!!!!
Its not easy to emulate Magnus etc who conjure up counter threats seemingly out of nowhere. Even so, it's enjoyable to hear how you were thinking during your game.
Advice from an Amateur - Be glad you got a draw when you were not feeling confident, and go all out for a sharp struggle with your last round! All the Best!
Very strange that this Skytte-dude went back with the black bishop to B4 agian. I think he had a significant better position in general and good winning chances. Your position was not good with the minor pieces blocking themselvs and a knight in the corner(!). So, the dane gave up early. This is NOT typical for danes, they are famous for never giving up. But he might had a "not so good day" too.
"Good winning chances" is really way to far; i think it´s still near to equal. But i really understand Roberts feelings about his "problem knight". Maybe michaelblankenau6598 is right with his mentioned idea - the only plan i can detect so far. But maybe black just takes then the white h-pawn - so the beginning of this also doesn´t look clear enough to me. So i think Robert has taken a reasonable decision eventually!
You're a chicken! (Not really, only joking!). I appreciate you showing the game even though you're not happy with it (I'm not sure I would have the guts to). I think there's always something to learn from every game. In this case, I think you were right to accept the draw even when you were still in the opening. Sometimes when you try to push for a result when you're not on your game psychologically you can end up making things worse. You lived to fight another day.

Hay Robert! I'm rooting for you!
Have confidence, opponents good, not gods, give them problems to solve like Magnus.
It will put a lot of strain on you, that people expect you to show your games. Respect.
Robert Risk😊
Tell us how your team is doing! That has been missing
How about h5 and after g5 , Nh2 followed by Ng4 and then an eventual f4 . Or instead of Na1 the immediate Nc5 ?

Don't blame yourself. Chess is a game that surpasses every human being. Even Magnus or Hikaru.
