deFirmian is leading the match by the score of 2-1. He needs only a draw
to become the Interplay 1998 U.S. Champion. deFirmian's repertoire as White is
extremely aggressive. Against Shaked in the Semi-Finals, all he needed was a
draw in Game 4 as White to advance. There deFirmian played an aggressive
system and got a good position. I do not think deFirmian knows how to play
calmly. Either that or he just likes to negotiate from a position of strength!
