I am not losing any sleep - said Benjamin

Arguably the most anticipated match in the history of the Chess SuperBowl is about to get underway on the 5th of May 2010. Singaporean superstar Benjamin Tan would be locking horns with Russian Superstar Alexis Mikhailvich Migel over the board for the very first time.

The draw for who to open with the white pieces (and who to open with the black) will be completed in a few hours time.

Said GM Benjamin Tan, "It really does not matters who plays white or who plays black first, at the end of the day the player who plays better would be the one to go home with the point". When asked how much confidence he has in himself Ben responded negatively, "I come here expecting to get last, Migel would have an easy time".

However anyone who had seen or heard about Ben's chess would know it would be far from easy for his Russian opponent, former RCI Classical Cup-finalist Lee Wei Cheng would be expecting a tough fight to the very last game.

But the lurking question that might drives some crazy would be - How would the 2 players prepare for this big match ? and what would the King of Novelty, Grandmaster Benjamin Tan had installed for his opponent this time round ?? we will find out...

The first game starts tomorrow at Raffles Town Club at 10am.
