Ben VS Alexis. After Round 11

GM Benjamin Tan on a roll in SuperBowl

GM Ben shocked the chess world by recording consecutive victory over Russian Superstar Alexis Migel. Both players started out brightly but it was Ben's two central pawn that decided the game, some chess commentators even said that Migel had resigned prematurely - apparently out of fear for Ben's superior talent, some other argued that the position was a lost one for black and Migel did the right thing to give up.

Overall it was a superb game for Ben, he breezed through the game without having to spend too much time on any move.

The notation of round 11 is as followed
