Wonderfully played by Tal.

Tal ha saputo interpretare il particolare gioco di Hamam.

The end bugged me to, the guy on Top, was playing aggressively the whole game. It was part of his strategy? I don't know, but at the end when all of his aggression lead to losing more pieces until he just couldn't call good enough, good enough and resign. We could all see the moves he had left on the board before the game was done. We could see that unless, hey I can see his name now! Cool, so unless Tal screwed up immensely, Ham knew it was over. He just seemed upset with how he was playing. Mikhail is/was pretty cool, and I enjoyed this game, maybe I like watching people squirm sometimes.

I'm not a Chess player, but I like to watch, and in my humble, and unqualified opinion, I think the guy on Black became too focused and hostile toward the Bishop at the start of the game. I don't know what I mean, but it seems like that moment set the stage for how the guy on Black was going to play. I don't think it was defence as much as he wanted to claim the Bishop, and at the start he was aggressive but after that he was in trouble. He let himself be called out, by himself. He would have beaten me anytime of the day, at any point in time, but I feel like Black wasn't having a very good time.
