Polgar Chess Festival 2013
Today was a big day for chess culture in Budapest. The annual Polgar sisters-Aquaprofit chess festival took place, featuring all three Polgar sisters and special guest, Ex-World Champion Kasparov.
I managed to see the tail-end of the event and witnessed Judit’s simul. Here are some pictures by Eniko Szakacs(big thanks!).

Torokves Open 2013 Rd-3-4
Sulcz and Orfei are in the overall lead with 4/4 while I am in second with 3.5/4. Orfei is playing some strong and consistent chess for a well-earned share of the lead.
Results
I played a nice game to win in rd4 but I should also have won in rd4 but I could not find the correct tactical solution(s) when needed and then seeing my brain was not cooperating, I took a draw offer in a complex R-R ending.
From my round 4 game Liptak-Yip(diagram)
Black to play after 28.Re2
Black won material with 28..g5! which removes a key defender of Re2 to make e-file tactics work.
From my Round 3 game Yip-di Giovanni(diagram)
White to play after 17..Ne6
I had to find 18.Bxf5 which I did calculate but I thought I was losing my queen. But this was correct as white eventually breaks through on g7. In the game I played cautiously with 18.Ke1 and missed another later win.
Later in the game I carelessly played 23.Rxf5(diagram)
Black to play after 23.Rxf5
Now black turned the game with the nasty 23..Nxd4! and white was in big trouble.
Standings
Sulcz and Orfei are in the overall lead with 4/4 while I am in second with 3.5/4. I must take a bye in rd5 so effectively, I am out of the race.

AQUAPROFIT – POLGAR CHESS FESTIVAL 2013
Palace of Arts, Budapest, 29th September 2013
A FESTIVAL OF THE IMMORTAL GAME OF CHESS WITH THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS SISTERS OF THE SPORT
Sport, entertainment, show, science, art, and most of all, chess from every aspect in one
On one day of each year the legendary sisters of chess, living in three different continents of the world, join together to promote the game of chess in a very inspirational and entertaining way.
They grew up travelling and competing around the globe together, changing the way people thought about gender barriers in the game of chess forever. As the years passed life separated the sisters, all three of them started a family, had children to look after, and it just became extremely complicated for them to find the time to gather all around somewhere in the word. 10 years after the last time they ever competed together,
in 2007, there came the idea of having a reunion, a big celebration of chess, serving a good cause and that way also finding the opportunity to join their lives again through chess.The Polgar Chess Festival has firmly established itself as a very prestigious social event, where celebrities, athletes, artists, scientists, businessmen, politicians and most importantly children like to participate and have fun for an entire day.
In 2012 The EU Youth Talents vs Judit Polgar simultaneous exhibition game was one of the major events on the festival, where the world’s N°1 female chess player, as an ambassador of Chess in School program adopted by the European Parliament, gave a 27-board simul to children representing the 27 nations of the EU.
The Polgar International Chess Festival is ready to provide meaningful programs for from 4-year-old kids to 99 years old elderly chess enthusiasts, to grandchildren, grandparents and parents. The Aquaprofit-Polgar International Chess Festival 2012 was officially under the patronage of Mrs Androulla Vassiliou, Member of the European Commission. This year the event moves to an even more prestigious place, to the Palace of Arts in Budapest, and the theme of the festival is going to be the connection between chess and art on the 29th September
The Tasks of a Chess Trainer-Quality Chess
Here is a shortened version of a great post.
Quality Chess
From the Quality Chess Blog by GM Aagaard
Recently I have felt compelled to consider what the properties of the ideal chess trainer should be. Obviously there are a few different types of chess trainers, each with their own function. Let’s have a look at them:
a) The Junior Trainer
This starts with teaching children the rules, notation and so on, then goes on to teaching them basic strategic concepts, such as development, king safety, the value of the pieces.
The junior trainer will often go through games with a group of children, discussing ideas, telling them when to look out for simple opportunities and so on.
b) The Talent Trainer
In this phase of the talent’s development the trainer is likely to still be a stronger player, at least for a part of the process. He is able to show the talent a lot of ideas and typical patterns, structures, combinations and so on. At the same time he will also be able to help the talent prepare for games, analyse his games with him and choose what books he needs to read, which types of exercises he should solve and so on.
This is the standard trainer you can find online.
c) The Second
Once a player reaches a certain level he will start to play in tense competitive situations. This can be national championships, international championships or even matches.
I think most players over 2400 would benefit a lot from a second, but with the low amount of money in prizes at “normal” tournaments, only players at the top or participants in junior championships usually have access to a second.
d) The Grandmaster Trainer
The final category is the one I have moved into over the last decade, by natural progression.
In 2006 I started working with Sabino Brunello. He was rated 2400 and had just fulfilled the requirements for the International Master title. Our relationship was at the time quite similar to b) above. I still had a number of things I could teach him. For example, I realized that his strengths did not fit well with his 1.e4 repertoire and I encouraged him to learn 1.d4 and use it at an opportune moment where the surprise would come in handy.(Much more-see whole post)

Torokves Open 2013-09 Rd2
Results and Standings
I won a tense game after many mutual errors. My opponent missed a good chance with 35.Rxf7! and played 35.Bf2 instead. After 35..Nxg3, now white played 36.Rxf7? but the idea does not work as on 36..Rxf7 37.Bxd5 I had 37..Ne2+! and black keeps the extra pawn.
Position after 34..Rg6?
Orfei won on board 2 beside me with a Vienna game in fine attacking style as the leaders continued to win as expected. Hegedus upset Liptak on board 4 while Czimer also upset Szendeff on board 5 but the rating differences have much less significance in these small opens as anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

From my last experience, the games are not really easier but the atmosphere is more relaxing. Orfei won from the black side of an Exchange King's Indian on the board beside me. He did have time to give me an odd look after seeing my position on the verge of doom. Ranking after round 1 of Torekves Rating Tournament Swiss Group No. PNo. Name Score WP SB PS rat.
