Preotu,R(CAN) WYCC U14 Open
Here is a tough battle with Preotu,Razvan (2086) played in round 2.
Sanal,Vahap (2397) – Preotu,Razvan (2086)
Sicilian Accerated Dragon 8…a5[B35]
WYCC U14 Maribor (2.2), 09.11.2012
Black played a topical sharp line of the Accelerated Dragon but eventually white had lasting pressure from the bishop pair and dark square control. Eventually white built up a winning position in a sharp RRB-RRB ending with opposite color bishops. Just as the win seemed like a formality white faltered and allowed black to come back into an even R-B ending. The tradegy struck and black allowed a transition into a winning(for white) K+P ending. A tough and exiting battle.
Critical Position 1
The position is sharp. How should the queenless attack proceed?

Critical Position 2
Black has defended this part of the ending well. What is the right way to exploit the passed pawn duo?

WYCC 2012 Under 16 Open Itkin,D(CAN)
This game deserves some kind of prize for dramatic content.
White had the upper hand in the early part of the game and then missed many winning/strong lines. The black came back to also miss multiple chances. Then, very late black blundered and white got a magical lighting strike for a mating attack.
Laurusas,Tomas (2425) – Itkin,David (2058) [A42]
WYCC U16 Maribor (1.5), 08.11.2012
Here is one of the key moments. Black is a piece up in a messy looking position. How should black play?

WYCC Under 14 Open IM Wang,R(CAN) Rd4
Here is the game that put IM Richard Wang up to 4-0.
Wang,Richard (2356) – Wu,Christopher (2239) [D30]
WYCC U14 Maribor (4.2), 11.11.2012
This was a tense and far from perfect game. White got a big advantage early and let it slip away. After some tense play, the advantage came back to white and this time there was no mistake as white went over to the attack.
White has an extra pawn but Rf1 and Nd1 are passively placed. How should white play?

Philidor[C41]
7th Kavalier Open Vienna AUT (5.9), 30.10.2012
Black ventured a Philidor sideline with a dubious reputation and then sacrificed an exchange. The position is complicated and black’s queen is under attack. How do you play?

London System [A48]
38th Guernsey Open Guernsey GCI (4), 24.10.2012
White tried the solid London System but black responded in model fashion. What is next for black? Is there a combination? Attack on the kinside perhaps?

WYCC 2012 Open Under 18
Here a nice ending from Rd4
Black played solidly from the opening and did nothing special. The game was equal but white should not have allowed a queen trade.

WY BU18 2012 Maribor SLO (4), 11.11.2012
The position looks equal but it is not. How should black continue?
