Qualification Round 1 - 15th KPMC

Korea Prime Ministers Cup - Round 1

The first round of qualifying in the Americas/Oceania group was played at noon (NZST) on 5 August.  Chahine (5D) had a solid game against Edisson Albuja (2D) from Equador who put up a very good show against Chahine with some exciting large scale swaps during the game.  Chahine has added some comments. 

 

He says "I felt significantly ahead after black spent a lot of moves in the bottom left while I got to attack the centre.  B didn’t get enough out of the kos to catch up although he could have made it much closer by living in the top right"
