Alexis VS Ben. After Round 8

Alexis Fires Blanks

Alexis is getting more and more desperate in search of a full point, but the Russian superstar hasn't been lucky so far, failing to win in any of the opening 8 games. In game 8, he shook hands with Ben when the Singaporean asked for a draw despite having the better position for most of the game and a pawn up in the endgame.

The notation of round 8 is as followed
