Black was 1 pawn up in the middle game.
However, the double fiancetto led to a positional weakness in the end game in which White aggresively attacked Black's position with a threat of mate.
This was the final position (White to move) in which White forced Black to resign.
How about for a coke, I said. He declined.
Donald Koh played with Woo Lam Sang, and Albert Ong played with William Lim.
Coffee break was 11.30am.
An interesting position is shown below in which William Lim and Albert Ong tried to out- strategize each other.
See how you would play that position in which William is White and Albert Black. It's Black's turn to move.
The session ended almost an hour after the scheduled 1pm.
Thus Steven avenged his loss to Albert on 5 Mar. (See posting #11 here.)
Foreground: David Yeo and Albert Ong.
Foreground: Willam Lim and Steven Yeo.
In the middle game between Albert (Black) and David (White), an over-sight caused White to lose his Queen in a Knight fork check, in the sequence: 1:RxR,RxR 2:QxQP, N-K7ch.
Meanwhile, Albert and William played a cautious game with William emerging one pawn up, but they were unable to complete the game due to closing bell.
The end game: William vs Albert
