Round 5

In round 5, Prestige Challenger, operated by Dan Spracklen, played Mephisto X operated by Ossi Weiner and Thomas Nitsche, as reported by Frederic Friedel [8] . At move 40, Mephisto had a big advantage, but started to miscalculate and after 75...Qc7, Weiner could hardly wait for the imminent adjournment and adjudication by the master, and had some arguments with Fidelity Electronics representative Peter Reckwitz [9] :
