Hungarian Chess Federation

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.
