Here we are again, talking about another Allegro @ MCC. The specialty of this, its the final allegro for the year 2013. And it was so good to see some good games played. Played on 28th of December 2013. Final results are mostly expected one, but there was so tough competition from 1-2 players and more importantly tricky finishes. Unfortunately, I didn't get moves of those games. Did get a photo of final positions.
Let's just go thru the final result in flash. Shall we.

Michael and Dimitri have Joined podium, well on second its Chris and Mohammad(remember this name). , this is in the open section. Mukesh and Tanya took the prize in the second group. Well people playing in MCC Allegro proved worthiness by Mohammad Cheema. He won the game against Michael in a dramatic finish. This make one big statement. Anyone can win, if you play your 'A' game
Here is a game from round 2 @ top board
Will Bakanursky had a winning chance against Michael Baron, but messed it all up and ended losing the game in the above fashion. Baron's queen was pinned, and the king is cornered, one move that's all it takes. Baron just needed a window of the gap and utilizes the chance and mated will. Well lesson learned, what we see here is everyone is human and make mistakes. The person who makes second mistakes win the game. It's always very important to remember, walking king is under severe threat of checkmated. Missing such opportunity is never acceptable at good rated players.
Here is an interesting game, this time Between
Tactical battle in Allegro will be very challenging and can chew up ur time while u thinking hard. Will made blunder when he moved Nh4 in this position, too many pieces hanging without any co-ordination in such an important position. None is supported here, not even the knight on F6.
Here come the novelty game played by Mohammad Cheema against Michael Baron..
Cheema completely outplayed Michael, and of course baron made blunders and his opponent was able to spot and crack them into nuts.
