Josef Varosi Open 2013 Rd2 (March 15-17)
I got off to a normal 2-0 start which is not so easy in Budapest, at least for me. As I left strong junior, Tibor Bodi, was down a piece for a pawn in what looked like a lost ending.
Here’s my round 2 game.
Bege,V (1757) – Yip,M (2009)

Josef Varosi Open (2), 15.03.2013
After 39.Kg2, the kingside looks secure. What do you recommend for black now?
Josef Varosi Open Rd 1 (March 15-17) 2013
74 players are playing in this typical Budapest weekend open. Entries are limited to FIDE under 2200 players, as this is the maximum rating for 90 minutes per game allowed by FIDE rules.
The entry fee was 3,000HUF less 10% for the Budapest Discount Card that I bought. My ego took a beating as I saw my rating sank to FIDE 2009. When all the entries were processed, I started as the modest #13 seed.
There were two upsets in round 1(at least 2).
Here’s my rd1 game.
Yip,M (2009) – Pasztor,D (1491)
King’s Indian Saemish [E87]
Josef Varosi Open (1), 15.03.2013
White played the early middlegame very aggressively and quickly obtained two monster passed pawns. However, they are in danger of being blockaded and picked off. What do you suggest for white?
TCh-AUT 2012-13 Rd5,GM Banusz T(HUN)
TWIC 957
The King’s Indian Attack can be tricky to defend against.
In the feature game, Hungarian GM Banusz defends in classical fashion refusing to give any space advantage on either wing. After white tries to force the issue on the kingside, the defense sprang to life and energetically took over the game.
