Ben VS Alexis. After Round 5


2nd crushing defeat stunned the Russians

Alexis Migel must be feeling like a volcano about to erupt any moment after suffering a shock thrashing in the hand of Singaporean premeir chess-player GM Benjamin Tan. Widely tipped to breeze through the match, Migel now find himself having a mountain to climb. Everyone predict Migel to win easily but found himself in the wrong end of the defeat.

The Russian superstar crumbled like dust and within 27 moves he was in a completely hopeless position and has to shake hands. The playing standard of both players is clearly exposed in this game. While the Singaporean fans cheered like they had just won the World Cup, the Russian could only stare at thin air, mouth hanging open in utter disbelief......
