My third round game was very interesting one, my opponent Harry Zhao another Chinese young talent rated 1900+ played the Scandinavian Defense. I played against this defense many times in online blitz games in chess.com so I'm very familiar with it. The problem on this defense is that the Black Queen goes early out in the open and is vulnerable to whites attack and get being trapped. My plan is simple: "Take the black Queen out from the game" and that was exactly happened. In moved 11 the black Queen retreated and was practically entomb in a7 square - paralyzed never again a threat - out of commission and merely a beautiful spectator as her forces crumble and the King on her side getting mated on the last moved 35!

Taming the Sicilian - Sustained Attack
Rulix Batistil vs Hairan Liang
Playing white on the 2nd round, I faced another young talent rated 1900+. Hairan Liang put up a Sicilian Defense Taimanov variation. So much I loved Sicilian when playing black, I also loved to attack and crush Sicilian when playing white. This game demonstrates a controlled attack giving black no room to counter from start to finish - A total wiped out.

Sicilian For A Young Gun
Nameer Isaani vs Rulix Batistil
Playing black, this is my first game against the talented young gun "Nameer". He was a bit passive on my Sicilian that eventually overrun the center. The strong attack on his hapless king was too much to handle.
