Another tough game yesterday and another draw! Despite winning a clear pawn in the opening as Black, I couldn't find a way to make it count. Can anyone find a clear plan for Black?

White today against WIM Elena Semenova (2222) from Russia in a must-win situation. Mikey Groves is having a tough time of things, while Peter Constantinou plays Black on top board v the very strong Greek player Epaminondas Kouroussis (try saying that name when you're drunk!)
