Ben roars back - in style

Despite going down in two consecutive games (round 2 and 3) GM Benjamin Tan did not give up, he fought to the very end and was duly rewarded for his effort.

The Russian International came back brilliantly, winning all of his last 4 games and clinching top 7 position, with his last game the most spectacular of all.

Openings
- Round 1 (white) Faced French (exchanged) 1-0
- Round 2 (black) Caro-Kann (classical) 1-0
- Round 3 (white) Faced Sicillian (sozin system) 0-1
- Round 4 (black) Indian game 0-1
- Round 5 (white) Benko-English 1-0
- Round 6 (black) Caro-Kann (advanced) 0-1
- Round 7 (white) Benjamin Tan Opening 1-0

Total - 5/7
