President’s Cup Round 07: “Oscar Can’t Be Stopped!”

OVERVIEW FROM ROUND 07:

A game of blunders and sacrifices, Oscar Brillante won his game against Ringo Teves!

Oscar made it look easy as he captured a hanging knight with check. After that, Ringo could not recover. Slowly, Oscar traded down until it was 2 Pawns Vs. 2 Pawns + Knight. As the endgame continued, we saw Oscar Dancing in his chair being extremely happy with the winning position in front of him. He even started to say, “I am the Champ! I am the Champ!” and continued to laugh. When Ringo Resigned, Oscar again laughed and threw his hands up in the air and yelled, “I AM THE CHAMPION!”

Oscar Brillante leads the tournament with 6.5 points out of 7 rounds. If he draws his next game, he wins automatically! So the real question is, will Oscar lose a round because he already won the tournament? Or will he remain the only undefeated player in the FCA-K President’s Cup? Join the Club this Friday at 4 P.M. to witness history as Oscar battles Jess Butguen in table 1.
