  • Round 8 in Barcelona

    Yasser (W) and Kevin (B) had a fairly peaceful draw today, exchanging pieces off down to a dead B ending.

    They remained tied for 1st with 4.5/7, with a couple of others able to catch them, today, going into the last round tomorrow.

            Well, Sierwan won and KS is on move 70 in his game, where he has an extra pawn and B over a Knight, but rooks are still on board and the position is somewhat blockaded, so he has more grinding to do - sooner or later he will win I guess (technique, as they say). So perhaps KS will tie for 1st?

                LOL - thanks. That *is* the sort of error I am prone to make...

                I guess KS has nothing much to lose by making sure he tries every available avenue to win...

                    That's a good defence for black to use against a strong player when all he really wants is a draw. I've used it.
