Benjamin Tan crushed Migel to take the lead
Round 3 sparked the most life into both players so far. Ben dominated the opening, controlled the middlegame magnificently and crushed his superstar opponent in the endgame. Out of the three games (so far) this is the only game in which Ben played to his full potential, according to some Professional Chess Commentators. A shell-shocked Alexis Migel never knew what hit him when he was repeatedly slugged down at full-force.
Ben started with his usual d4 and Migel opted for a King's Indian, the opening which earned him a draw at round 1, but Ben chose the Bayonet Attack this time and dominated the game with crushing initiative, eventually Migel was wore down and Ben threatened to queen his a-pawn, unable to take it anymore Migel shook hands and conceeded.
