Honor-even at Raffles Town Club
Both players held their nerves to hold out a draw on their 5th May's encounter. It's evidental that both players were still trying to get use to the tournament. Ben gain the upper-hand in the first ten moves only to allow Alexis to break out, sacrifice a bishop and deliver perpectual check. Neither players were too keen on taking any risk, with Ben surprisingly being the meeker of the two.
