It was 1.e4 … and response was …c6 . The Caro-Kann Defence.
Egypt and Africa’s number one GM Bassem Amin on the White side vs Zambia’s number one IM Andrew Kayonde on board 1 faced each other in Livingstone Zambia, 2018 African Individual Chess Championships in the 6th Round..later on as the game ensued the Egyptian GM made an incredible Queen exchange for a Rook and Knight on move 33. He fought to maintain the initiative and it paid off..as Kayonde was also under time pressure. Kayonde lost after 48 moves.
Amin, Bassem (2667) – Kayonde, Andrew (2394)
