   Hsu started off on a wrong note and allows Black to dominate the whole board. As Dharshan transfers his pieces to the Kingside and tries to lock up the Queenside. he misses a nice Queen sac which made his whole attack look really silly.

    Looks logical but he missed Hsu's extremely strong exchange sacrifice.
25. bxa3 Rxa3 26. Qxa3! bxa3 27. Rxb6
   White's pieces are bunched up uselessly on the Kingside and can only watch helplessly as his central pawns gets moped away.

   The subtle Romanishin system ...Qc2 with a delayed Nc3 cna be treacherous against unsuspecting KID players as Tsemekhman found up in adopting the "standard" Qe7 move.

   Bg4 followed by Bxf3 is necessary. Now nothing can prevent Black from munching the c5 pawn

   Hsu's calling card. He gained an IM norm at the famous Groningen Open with an emphatic win over top seed GM Thomas "the hit-man" Ernst.

   When Singapore was paired against mighty Russia in the opening round of the Moscow Olympiad, Hsu chose to concentrate on his medical texts (in preparation for his exams) instead of preparing for supergrandmaster Baeev. The result? A clinical draw.
