This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 5|2. The opening was a Queen’s Gambit Declined by transposition. The activation of black’s queen bishop can sometimes be a little difficult with a white bishop deployed early to g2. If black can get the queen bishop working, equality in the position is usually not far off. An ending with opposite colored bishops is not necessarily a draw, especially when each side still possesses a rook, and pawns fixed on the same color as that of the opposing bishop.
