This game showed me that I don’t understand chess. I have no clue where was Hammer’s mistake. He came superior from the opening and after b5 I saw or I thought I saw he was winning… but Akobian transformed it to a win and indeed the fact that I don’t know how it happend makes his win mythical to me.
My blessings to Akobian but my heart goes to Hammer as well. If he had won this game he would have taken the 1st prize.
what’s the standings after round nine in the event where wesley so is playing? – from Philippines
Go Var!
