Here is a recent attacking effort(TWIC 952) from the TCh-HUN.

Horvath,Cs1 (2526) – Konnyu,J (2328)
King’s Indian Averbakh 6…Na6[E73]
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Budapest HUN (6), 27.01.2013

Position 1
White is all set up to attack the kingside. What do you suggest for white?

White to Play

22..Qd7

Rakosmente Open 2013-02 Rd4

Here is my rd4 effort. Although the game looks like a harmless quick draw, there were many hidden little points which I did not notice during the game.

Onguti,Selchuk (1626) – Yip,M (2019)
Grunfeld 4.Bg5 Ne4[D80]
Rakosmente Open (4), 09.02.2013

Position 1
The position is sharp and unbalanced but black has the inferior structure and must play precisely. What do you suggest for black?

Black to Play

12.bc


Position 2
Black has some compensation for the exchange but cannot afford to play quietly. What do you suggest for black?

Black to Play

21.Qc2

Rakosmente Open 2013-02 Rd3

Here is my tough rd3 effort against my RAC teammate.

Yip,M (2019) – Suranyi,P (2149)
Benoni 7.Bf4[A61]
Rakosmente Open (3), 09.02.2013

Position 1
Black has just attacked the a-pawn with 24..Qd8. What do you suggest for white?

White to Play

24…Qd8

Rakosmente Open 2013-02 Rd2

I scored 1.5/3 today for a total of 2.5/4 but had to withdraw as I am just too sick with a cold to play anything close to chess.

Here’s my rd2 game. More tomorrow. Please someone takes some pictures for the bog. Balla,Atilla will bring his camera tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Rakosmente Open Rd1 1013-02

The renovated club hosted 49 players to start the tournament off. I won quickly as the number 9 seed, and headed back home quickly to nurse my cold.

The club now has two playing rooms and an analysis room with the prospective library.

Balla, Attila promised to bring his camera tommorrow, so there will be pictures coming soon.
