In round 5 I played with the 3 times European Rapid Youth Champion Woman FIDE-Master Hanna Iva-Gal from Hungary.

I saw, She authored a chessable course about the King's Indian Defense, so I decided to play the London system and a version which blocks the King's indian bishop and opens the center to reduce the chance She checkmates me.

I got a good bishop versus her bad bishop and gained space on the queenside which made her sacrifice a pawn. She helped me with a few more exchanges and it allowed me to win the knight versus bishop endgame.
