The Doc is back! That is the heading for today’s news, seeing the destructive way with which GM Amin Bassem took out his deputy, GM Adly Ahmed! The rook sacrifice for two (2) pawns and a bishop after initially going a pawn and rook for two (2) knights, was nothing short of exquisite. When the stakes are high, the good doctor delivers, as he did yesterday.
It was a day filled with upsets strong enough to make players quit the game and just become spectators, but as is our custom, we take it from the top.
In the last round, GM Hamdouchi Hicham took young IM Anwuli Daniel to a place where the young man could not find his way out, but this time, GM Fawzy Adham was the one getting one for the young bloods, as he ensured that the veteran Moroccan would not escape his grasp. Playing an unconventional Sicilian defense, the young grandmaster did his best to complicate the game as early as move 3…. Nd4!? which was followed by some highly ballistic opening moves that put the veteran grandmaster on the back foot from the get go. GM Fawzy got more than enough on the kingside to convert the game and eventually win the game.
GM Bellahcene Bilel continues to show why he is the new kid on the block with another masterclass against the Zambian stronghold in IM Andrew Kayonde. The game was a demonstration of how to break through the solid Caro-Khan defense and the young grandmaster was clinical in the opening. After two (2) unprotected pawns were snapped up by the Algerian, it was time to trade off pieces and he did not mind trading his rook for the Zambian’s bishop, considering the guarantee the pawns gave him for a fantastic endgame finishing, which Kayonde saw and resigned.
