Ronde empat Asian Continental Chess 2012 - Irene K. Sukandar Masih di Angka Sempurna


Pagelaran catur benua Asia 2012 atau Asian Chess Continental Championship terus berlangsung di Ho Chi Minh City. Pergulatan paling menarik sekarang tertuju pada pecatur Irene K. Sukandar yang terus bertahan di angka sempurna hingga babak ke empat.


Di babak ini Irene menghadapi pecatur Mongolia Batchimeg Tuvshintugs. Pecatur yang di-nick name "Chime" ini pernah study di Amerika dan di ajang kejurnas Amerika tahun 2006 mencatat hasil sensational dengan mengalahkan tiga GM lokal di sana.

Dengan pengaturan waktu pikir yang kurang tepat, atau berpikir terlalu lama, Chime masuk ke krisis waktu di babak pertengahan. Melalui  langkah di 35.Qh4+, Irene berhasil mengambil alih inisiatif walaupun korban bidak dan mencapai posisi babak akhir dengan unggul satu perwira tapi kalah jumlah bidak. Di babak permainan akhir Irene memilih unggul satu bidak dan bermain panjang tapi teoritis menang.
