A mysterious end by a God | Caro-Kann, Finnish - Standard Chess #53

I played black and opted for the Finnish variation of the Caro-Kann Defense. This was the 2nd time I've played this variation while recording a standard video for YouTube. From my experiences, I think a slight plus in space isn't really an advantage when 3 minor pieces have been exchanged. By game's end, a mysterious one at that, I was left reflecting on this aforementioned idea. The Rapid time control for this game is 15 minutes with a 10 second increment.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
