Rakosmente Open Jan 24-26 2014

Pictures(by Attila Balla) and PGNs are now available.

I played an action filled game in rd4 against Sulcz.

Position 1(30..Ne5)

Black had just played 30..Ne5 to block the long diagonal but white has a killing attack built up.

After 30..Ne5 Yip-Sulcz

I continued with 31.Qh5+(one of many ways to win) and pressed for the kill. 31..Kg8 32.c5 Nf7 33.cd Bd5  34.Bd3?(An poor way to continue the attack) 34..Rc6. Now position 2 is reached. 

Position 2(34..Rc6)

White has accidentally cut off the Qh5 and I searched around for a way to continue the attack.

After 34..Rc6 Yip-Sulcz

I found 35.Bxf5! smashing down the kingside. 35..ef 36.Qxf5 Rcxd6.

Diagram 3(36..Rcxd6)

After 36..Rcxd6 Yip-Sulcz

Now black’s kingside is wide open and the dark squares inviting but still I had some trouble decsiding how to continue. After deep thought I chose 37.Re1(to cut off black’s king on the e-file with tempo as 38.Re8 mate is threatened) and after the helpful blunder 37..Qb8?  The end was 38.Qg4+ 1-0.

On the last day I could summon minimal energy only and could only manage 2 draws.
