'roln111' is back on track!
Recently
'ronl111' (Ilya Shikshin) has been having bad luck: he lost some games on time,
and in his last handicap game (as White) he was only behind by 0,5 points. This
month, he played a total of 10 games (not counting with the game that you can
see here) - and he lost 6, giving him a winning percentage of only 40%...
Fortunately
he is still sharp as usual, as you can see from his last game. Black 21 (Q2)
shows his aggressive style. The fighting was impressive, typical of Korean
games - they do not mind playing 'ugly' shapes such as Black 47 (M6), as long
as they work.
After the fight
was over in the lower right part of the board, White managed to live... but in
gote. Black got a huge compensation, Black 107 (S14), after which White's right
side group was as good as dead. It was an amusing game, and Ilya proved that he
is still the best fighter in Europe and why his opponents must be afraid of
him!
