No Way Through For Migel
No question who has been the busier of the two, hot favorite Alexis Migel fell behind after a shocked defeat in the last round, he would be looking to equalize the series. Migel has been the more aggressive of the two players, but Ben defended solidly and hold on to all his resources for an eventually draw on move number 46.
Ben defended Alexis' 1. e4 with his trademark Alekhine Defence - Benekan Variation, retreating the knight back to g8, giving up a tempo to save a tempo and good position for his king's knight. The result was a brick wall which deservingly frustrated Migel who could not find an opening in Ben's defence, eventually the two shook hands and shared points on move number 46.
