Sigeman & Co Malmo 2013 Rd6-GM Rapport,R(HUN)
More on Sweden
The Siegman tournament is being held in Malmo. Here’s some background on the Swedish city.
TWIC 968
GM Rapport played a thematic game against the French and won a sharp ending. Of note was the nice Ra2-d2!? way of bringing the rook into play in the opening.

The tournament is hosted by my club-Rakosligeti(RAC). There are two main playing rooms and a library room which can hold 4 more boards. There is steady stream on young players getting their initial steps in tournament play in small Budapest opens playing in the G/90 format.

IM Izsak pressed the queenside until black cracked in an unusual Maroczy Bind where black also attacked the kingside with …h5-h4-h3!?

White has been massaging the queenside but now the b-pawn is sufficiently protected. What do you recommend for white now?

Torokves Open
(Thanks to Attila Balla for lending me his camera.)
This time in Torokves, I played in the Open tournament instead of the more serious RR group as there I had committed to play in the Rakosmente Open also.
My play was not so great but the players were very cordial and the atmosphere casual and friendly.
