        NM Miladin Djerkovic (2239) -- NM Maher Saleh (2316), Kingston Open 2003 (3). Played 2003-02-01. Time controls 30/90', SD/60'. Alekhine's Def., B04. TD: Frank Dixon.

        Highly interesting game in the always fascinating Alekhine Defense, between two Ottawa Masters. Among Canadian Masters, NM Maher Saleh is perhaps the most loyal Alekhine practitioner. It's a very difficult defense to play well, and NM Miladin Djerkovic makes it really tough, by not allowing any minor piece exchanges; Black's main problem is a lack of space, so if he can exchange off one or two sets of minors, his game usually becomes easier. Both sides maneuver carefully, and as time control is approaching, White makes some headway on the queenside; Black complicates but does not get enough play, so has to resign when faced with overwhelming material loss.
