The Myanmar Championship has entered the final straight and a mini thriller is developing at the top, with three teams competing for the title. Shan, who lost to Yangon for a point last year, is the only unbeaten player this year, but he is three points behind Yangon, having lost many points in the draw (8-10-0).
Having a much better schedule, he hopes to champion the champion to cut that thread first. It goes without saying that she should not lose a point, and she looks like she can do it, with all four games remaining at home and even against indifferent opponents.
