Alexis VS Ben. After Round 2

Draw Benefits Benjamin

In round 2 both players are starting to become slightly more motivated than they are from round 1, but not quite yet. Ben gained an early initiative and tried to build on it, but time trouble prevented him from converting his microsopic advantage into a vital victory against his Russian counterpart, in the end Ben offered a draw which is accepted by Migel after no less than 10 seconds of positional evaluation.

The notation of round 2 is as followed
