Mas

Subic Open: Round 4 Susanto vs Mas

So far Mas is playing well. His position looks active and Fritz evaluates this as slightly better for White (+0.71). But as with any Sicilian games the position can be volatile and Fritz evaluation can quickly change in either direction with just one move.

Mas doing well in 1st Subic International Open
