Nicholas Vettese attacked with gusto against Adam Dorrance but could not breakthru and was worse most of the way. The move that caught my attention was 39.Ne6+ wonderful tactics and the resulting threats on the C-file.Comment

Rd 10 Another amazing endgame in the Shiyam game! We fans are getting way way more than our moneys worth! Thanks Shiyam and Adam. Actually double and triple thanks. Why? No short draw in round 10. Obviously both gentlemen players are sincere chess lovers and have maxed out the game.Comment
