ZM Ben 'Karpov' widens gap

2nd March, 2009
Monday

Premeirship League Game

ZM Ben Karpov 3 IM V Ricnesh 1

Ben once again is at the winning end, but the local-based master is more concerned about his opponent's rise in form than the win itself.

Said Ben at a post-game interview, "Ric had made things really tough for me, he defended well and made some very interesting move, but I had patience and soon caught up that's what seperate the victor from the unfortunate today".

Ben lead by two game to zero before slumming to an unexpected "failed-to-calculate-properly-defeat" at the third game. The colorful master than pounced on a "death-error" by his opponent on the fourth game to claim the game 3-1.

After this game Ben widens the gap to a 7 game lead. (This match would consist of 100 games)

Overall score
Ben 'Karpov' 16 IM V Ricnesh 9 (with three draws) - 28 games
