Ed slowly outplayed his opponent from the Black side of a King’s Indian Attack. Russell played for a slight advantage in a queen-less middlegame, and was rewarded when opponent blundered a pawn on move 14. Kyan punished his opponent’s plan-less play in the London System. Rowland snared his opponent’s bishop in a neat trap, forcing resignation on move 27.
Congratulations to Ed, Russell & Rowland on their first wins in the tournament! And congratulation to Kyan on his 3rd successive win with Black!
