The great escape
In what can be described as the most awaited game in the championship, the resumed encounter of Amr ElJawish with Faisal Kharaillah didn’t disappoint anyone. Playing Black, the current champion adopted the Sicilian Kan and obtained fair chances in the issuing middle game, if not more. It was a little slip from his part (try to find it out by yourself, dear reader) that let Amr take the initiative and start an attack on Faisal’s king side, reaching an endgame with an extra 3 pawns. Feeling relaxed, Amr followed by a couple of imprecise moves, enabling Faisal a Houdini like escape using the stalemate theme! No one envies Amr’s situation when he agreed to the unescapable split of game point.
This means that there is a change in the standing, where Elie Asmar shares Amr the lead of the championship at the eve of round 8.
