deFirmian has a lead of 1 - 0 in this [best of] four-game match. In his Semi-Finals Match against Shaked, deFirmian showed in Game 4 that he will not shy away from his usual aggressive opening repertoire just because he is ahead in the match. deFirmian has gone through the tournament thus far, including the Prelims and the Semis, without a loss. (Have a question? Ask GM Rohde! Not all questions can be answered, but the Grandmaster will pick selected topics to cover live from e-mail received.)
