Alexis vs Ben. After Round 15
Stalemate in Firework
One might argue that game 15 is the most entertaining game so far, with both players having attacking chances but the final score of the game remains as boring as ever, with Ben once again holding out for a draw.

Alexis VS Ben. After Round 13
Ben held on to 4 games lead
From game 12 to 13, spectators saw the Singaporean superstar played the white pieces twice in a roll, yet Ben managed a win and a draw out of the two games. Game 13 can be described as unambitious by the leader, holding a 4-0 lead he would only need to draw 9 of the remaining 12 games to lift the SuperBowl Title. Ben did just that and went home with half a point in the bag.

Alexis VS Ben. After Round 12 - The Halfway Mark
Ben lead 4-0 at the halfway mark
Singaporean superstar GM Benjamin Tan took a commanding 4-0 lead against his Russian opponent at the halfway mark. The two played 12 games with 8 ending in draws and 4 decisively, all in favour of the Chinese-Japanese chess star.
In the 12th game Ben hold a slight inituitive while Migel needed accurate play to claw back half a point. It is debatable if Ben's 18th move is a blunder, which allows Migel back into the game. At last at the 22nd moves when too much possibility are opened up both decided to shake hands and call it a day.
