The opponents that Abdullah beat at the 2nd Kuantan Rapid Open

At Temerloh Open, Abdullah just managed to win the 8th place after +5-2. he lost to Abd Khalid Musa and Hamidi Taib. In the first round, Abdullah played black againts GiLoCatur on the third board. Surely, not a good match between 1892-rated player versus 1143-rated. LOL! But not really a bad game either for GiLoCatur he he he. GiLoCatur resigned after 23rd move when left with less than 2 minutes while he still had more than 20 minutes. Below is our game. (GiLoCatur hopes anyone will help with the analysis.)
