MTK at Sirayi

MTK fields a team in the Monday evening Team Ch in both the 6 and 8 board formats. The play is not rated so is an excellent way to test new ideas out.

I contributed a win on the White side of a 4.e3 Nimzo-Indian.

The lineup this evening was

1. Lyell,M
2. Teglas,B
3. Varga,V
4. Bolyai,I
5. Yip,M(CAN)
6. Balla,A

Teglas got a quick professional draw. Varga,Z escaped with a lucky draw when his opponent missed an easy mate. Bolyai won with a Dutch Defence.

Balla easily converted a huge positional advantage. Lyell was still playing when I left.

Board 5 Yip-Csomor

My opponent was generous and gave away a key kingside pawn early and the end came quickly.
