CLASH OF THE TITANS

Tonight, a top of the table clash will be held at Shah Alam between the incredible Hulk (picture left) and the English teacher, Yours Truly (picture right). Hulk, fresh from winning the Insofar, will want to continue his winning streak against the unpredictable Sir, who has just lost a game against Nik last weekend. The outcome of the duel will shape the complexion of the top three where a win for Yours Truly will give him another chance to go for the championship while a win for Hulk will put him in the driver seat in the two-way race between him and Nik Farouqi.

The game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m.

Current standing:

NIK FAROUQI NEARLY GOT 4 FLAT!

From 4 games, Nik Ahmad Farouqi won three and drew against Nik Nazri which consequently made him top the current standing. However, this was done not without luck. In his game against Yours Truly, Nik, who was duped to play against the Morra Gambit, got away from being crushed in the opening when his opponent failed to see 12.Bxe6 check! (see diagram 1) While in the game against Bad Bishop, Nik once again got away from being a piece down when his opponent missed Bxa6.

On the other hand, Mohd Ezmi won a game against the rated Marzuki convincingly (see diagram 2). Marzuki, who was called upon to replace the 'injured' Syed Azizi in the original schedule, lost both games with the KL based players.

Diagram 1: Yours truly missed 12.Bxe6+


Diagram 2: Final position between Marzuki - Ezmi

White to move


QUIZ


Black's King was being too adventurous and went surprisingly forward after a Knight check at e5. Was it a journey to remember or a point of no return?
