GM Ziaur Rahman- Fadli Zakaria

Team AU made a surprise strategy by fielding Mohd Fadli Zakaria on board 1 against GM Ziaur Rahman (Think Big). The idea behind the strategy is to give  realistic chance for their top horse- Ian Udani to gain points playing on board 2. This is Fadli first appearance in this league.

Below is the  position arise from   GM Ziaur Rahman (Think Big) vs Mohd Fadli Zakaria (Team AU) in the 3rd round of DATCC Team event yesterday. Fadli tried his best against the GM but to no avail.
