In the IM category, home young player Novendra Priasmoro, 17, also surprised the field by defeating IM Aleksandar Wohl of Australia in the second round. He stopped his opponents after 31 moves of a Ruy Lopez opening.
Holding the white pieces, Novendra discovered a decisive 21.b4, according to chess observer and event director Kristianus Liem in a release.
“Novendra offered to sacrifice a pawn, which left Aleksander in a dilemma. If he had taken the pawn, a thrust of a rook would have followed and Aleksander’s knight or bishop would have collapsed,” he said.
