2010 ANU Open Round 5

Round 5 of the 2010 ANU is just finishing, and FM Junta Ikeda has taken the outright lead following a dramatic win over GM David Smerdon. With both players down to less than 30 seconds (with a 10 second increment), Ikeda unleashed a tactical sequence that was kicked off with a queen sac. Short of time Smerdon failed to find the best defence and Ikeda emerged with a material advantage. This was quickly transformed into a mating attack and Smerdon resigned with his King trapped in the centre.
