Round 5 : NM Edward Lee - IM Jimmy Liew : 1-0

NM Edward Lee beat top seed - IM Jimmy Liew in round 5, National  Closed (yesterday). This is Jimmy  first lost against the juniors in this tournament. Although by age, Edward is still a junior, he can actually be considered as a senior because of his National Master title. He has also played with Jimmy  at  the 2008 Dresden, Olympiad.

One of my friend told that Jimmy is showing a good example by particapting in this tournament. He is willing to risk his rating -2302 . Second seed - NM Edward Lee is 128 points less then him!

National Closed 2011, Round 5, 17.3.2011

Analysed by centaur (Hairulov+Fritz)

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. a3 cxd4 6. bxc3 Is the main line but Jimmy must have preapred this sideline.

6. axb4 dxc3 7. bxc3 My friend Rizal Ahmad Kamal said he prefer the more aggresive 7. Qg4

7... Qc7 8. Nf3 Ne7  9. Qd4 Theory recomend 9. Bd3 giving the c3 pawn for development. 9... Qxc3+ 10. Bd2 Qc7

9... Nbc6 10. Qc5 b6 11. Qd6
