Budapest TCh 2012-13 Monday League Rd6 Feb 4 2013
I drew my game and was lucky not to lose as my opponent showed me too much respect.
RAC played UKSE in a 6 board team match(unrated).
One of our players did not show up. When I left, RAC had 2 wins and 2 draws with our board 1 still playing trying to grind out a g3 Queen’s Indian with a space advantage.
I played rather horribly and on the walk back to the metro with my teammates I walked right into a low-hanging street sign and gave my head a good bashing which caused a good burst of laughter. Such was my evening.
The only good thing (apart from not losing) about the day was that before the round I found a little used book shop and bought two cheap Hungarian chess books.
Here’s the game.

Tata Steel 2013 Rd13,GM Rapport(HUN)
Here is Rapport’s rd 13 game.
Rapport got a difficult position from the opening but fought back creatively to win the game by sacrificing a pawn for a chance at generating counterplay.
Position 1
Black has been fighting back hard and now has some compensation for the pawn. How should black continue?
-34…gf to open up white’s kingside
-34…h6 to reinforce the kingside
-Something else
Black to Play
Tata Steel 2013 Rd 12-GM Rapport(HUN)
Here is Rapport’s rd12 win over the veteran GM Timman.
Black got caught uncastled in the opening and then loosened the king’s position with some risky play which allowed Rapport to swoop in.
Position 1
Black has initiated kingside counterplay with 21…h5. How should white respond?

Here is my game from this morning where our team tie the match 6-6. I won a tense game where white was better for the early part of the game, but I had a bit of luck in the end and won.
Position 1
White has just forked the Q+R with 47.Nc4. What should black do?

Tata Steel 2013 A-Rd11 Leko
Here is a beautiful game by Peter Leko from Tata Steel Group A played in rd11. The Tata Steel event was beautifully photographed and organized.
Van Wely defended aggressively with the Sicilian Dragon but Leko invited a RRB-RRN ending and showed some fabulous technique to grind out the win in model fashion.
White has the better structure. How should white continue?
Position 2
Black is preparing a pawn break after playing 47..f6. How should white continue?

18th Bosnjaci Open(CRO)-Aczel,G(HUN)
Here a game from the 18th Bosnjaci Open(CRO) played by Aczel,G.
Black played a passive version of the g3 King’s Indian and was slowly being squeezed. After breaking on the kingside, black’s king was very vulnerable and the kingside eventually crumbled.
Position 1
Black’s king has just walked into the line of fire with 24…Kh7. How should white respond?
