May-14-10  braimondi: What a poor endgame by Joel Benjamin :S
May-15-10  Dr. Funkenstein: When playing someone with Onischuk's ability, it's strange how "poor" your endgame technique becomes
May-15-10  Alphastar: You could also say it was an excellent endgame by Onischuk.

  LIFE Master AJ: Time trouble? Something bad happened at the end, Benjamin looked close to winning at one point, and then just fell apart.

  LIFE Master AJ: Onischuk should also be applauded. He defended a tough position for a very long time and it paid off in the end.

Benjamin should not have allowed Black to UN-DOUBLE his pawns.

  HeMateMe: Yeah, this was very drawish, but Benjamin must have thought he could win by shaking up the pawn formations.
