First up in round two was Slovakia’s Milan Pacher, 33, who went into a poor endgame and lost a pawn at move 23, which Pang converted smoothly 18 moves later.Next in round four was Hungary’s Attila Czebe, 48, whose passive 32…Kh8? was met by Pang’s powerful king’s side attack highlighted by 35 c5! and 36 d5! This was the most impressive game of the three.
Pang’s iconic tournament ended on a downbeat note with two losses, one of them to the top seed and first prize winner, 2412-rated GM Valeriy Neverov of Ukraine. Pang’s total was 4.5/8, but he then had to miss the final two rounds and withdraw on Tuesday so that he could fly back with his father to London in time for the new term at Westminster Under School on Wednesday.
