Craig Bornheim (1969) beat GM Ahmed Adly (2596) in the 5th round. Wow!
Lordy!
This a freak of the chess nature in the world of talented Adley! The African Champ played below the young man’s level and not the other order! In the end, after recovering, Adly quipped about his knack to make events tough for his otherwise supposed ease crowning! He reminded me what happened in Namibia Africa Champs where he lost twice in the start! ” I lack early the focus sometimes!” He said vebatim.
