9…b5


9…b5 is a dynamic ways to treat the Stonewall Dutch. The plan has been popularized by GM Moskalenko. Black will follow with ..a5 and a general queenside assault on the queenside. 

In the feature game, IM Galyas plays a model game after some inaccurate white play.

Position 1
Black is a pawn up with a strong outside passed pawn but white is threatening f3 with counterplay against the doubled e-pawns. How should black continue?

TWIC 958

The 5.Qc2 has exploded in popularity in recent years and remains a hot topic. After reaching the position after 14…Nd8(diagram), GM Kozul played the thematic square clearing pawn sacrifice 15.e6!? at the Karpos Open and won a tense game.

14…Nd8

Here is the feature game.

Queen’s Indian 4.g3 Ba6 5.Qc2[E15]
Karpos Open 2013 Skopje MKD (3.29), 10.03.2013


Position 1
White sacrificed a pawn early in the game and obtained some pressure. What do you recommend for white now?

TWIC 958
Hungarian junior Peczely,S faced the solid Caro-Kann in rd2 and was slowly outplayed with an uncommon line in the 4..Bf5 variation. Black played the under the radar 12…a5!?(diagram) and played to massage down the queenside.

White fought back to an equal position only to blunder but the real value of the game is unearthing the 12…a5!? continuation.

12…a5


Here is the feature game.

Peczely,S (2072) – Bogdanovski,V (2444) 
Caro-Kann 4..Bf5; 11.Bd2[B19] 
Karpos Open 2013 Skopje MKD (2.55), 10.03.2013


Position 1
White has not achieved anything on either side of the board and it is black who is applying the pressure. White has just attacked Ng4 with 20.Qe2. How should black continue now?
