      The Irina and Ben show

      Ben Finegold, Irina Krush, Lubbock, SPICE, Spice Spring Invitational, Texas Tech, TTU


      Irina is up a pawn and she has 40 minutes left on her clock. Ben has 15 minutes but he is launching a dangerous counter attack on the kingside. They are on move 21. A very exciting game so far.

      Now they are on move 25 and Irina has 14 minutes while Ben has 5:32. Irina is still up a pawn and Ben is desperately trying to put massive pressure on the kingside. The position is complicated with a small edge to Irina.

      What a game. Both are playing with only increments now. Irina has R, N, and 4 Ps while Ben has 2 Rs and 3 Ps. Irina has a pawn on e6 and her King is active on e5. This is a real battle.

      Both were in time scramble and they fought hard. At the end, it came down to R vs. R. Draw.

        Please post the game (the moves) somewhere. I can tell by the video it was a good game, but I can not tell what the answers to the interesting positions were.
