(1375) PHOTOS--2017 PALAU BLITZ CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP (Round 1-5 April 30, 2017)

My first round opponent, Angelo Salvadora, committed an illegal move when I capture his bishop with a rook. It's too late before he knows that the pawn that recaptured the rook is pinned. This is the start of a string of 4 more wins to start again the Palau Blitz Chess Championship with a perfect 5-0 start. Two years ago, it's the same story. Me and Rustum Cabuso have the same 5-0 start. He defeated me in the 6th round and I lost 2 more to finished with 6 points only-- good enough for 3rd place.
