Another fine endgame by Qld’s own IM Stephen Solomon – yeah, I know, he’s from, “down south”.
Another fine win to IM Stephen Solomon.
Stephen has defeated at least 26 GMs in Classical FIDE rated games – most of them in Olympiads.
Lazy people will call this a “swindle”.
Those who take the time to study endgames will see it as a well deserved win.
The game is only beginning when Stephen “drops” the exchange.
