36th Selangor Chess Open 2009

Firey_rook had entered the 36th Selangor Chess Open held from 30th April till 3rd May 2009 at the Dato' Arthur Tan Chess Centre, 4th Floor Car Park, Kompleks Wilayah, Kuala Lumpur.

I played a player by the name of Wan Aizuddin Wan Ramli and the Sicilian Dragon opening was played by black. I enjoyed the game thoroughly as it was an opening that I had just been practising on my own as white. It had happened to be my only win as white for the tournament.

At move 22, white played 22Rxg6! The white rook at g6 cannot be taken because the pawn at f7 was pinned by the white bishop at b3. So black was forced to play 22... e6. White quickly took the initiative by 23 Rxg7! taking the Dragon bishop! Black's game quickly came to an end a few moves later.


White played 22. Rxg6! e6 for a decisive white win.
