Grandmaster ZZ takes on Mark Smyth

Grandmaster Zdenek Zizka (aka ZZ) recently took on Irishman Mark Smyth in a recorded 9pt match. Mark qualified to play this match after winning a knockout tournament that was held among those interested in this challenge. While the match was being played, ZZ recorded his commentary about important moves and cube decisions. You can view the recording of the match here. It is a great learning opportunity for players of all skill levels. The match was won by Zdenek. ZZ very kindly offered Mark a free intermediate video course as a prize. The BFI wishes to thank ZZ for his generosity and Mark for his great enthusiasm for learning and developing his game further.
