Everyone needs a coffee break.

One nice Cafe Americano and I cross my fingers and hope for 2-3 hours of non-techno music.

Monday Rook Endings May 30-2016

May 30

Posted by

Here are a couple of nice rook endings from Most Instructive Endgames of 2012-2015(Naiditsch and Balogh,Cs 2016)

The authors present 80 nice endgames.

 

Possibly you fought hard and won a P. But how to convert in a rook(or double rook) ending.

Endgame 35

Aronian Karjakin, Tata Steel 2014

After 46,,Kf6(Diagram)

White is up a clear P. How to best convert?

After 46..Kf6

 

After 42.Kg2

After 42.Kg2

Endgame 41

Wojtaszek-Eljanov

Gashimov Memorial 2014

After 42.Kg2(Diagram)

Black has a clear P+ in a complicated looking RR-RR ending. Again, how should Black convert?

Typical Day

May 30

Posted by

Breakfast is a good start

Workspace_1 (1)

Juice and pastry

 

Workspace_1 (5)

The Modern Defence is worth a look

The project desk. Coming soon is the Modern Defence and already here is the Grunfeld.

Workspace_1 (4)

Tiger’s Modern has been sitting on my shelf for much too long

Keeping up with news and stuff with New in Chess needs a separate desk.

Workspace_1 (3)

New in Chess table. Very important!

Many hours go by. Stuff gets looked at. Things get done. Then I eat.

Last I sleep.

This is chess life in Budapest.

Workspace_1 (2)

A more or less typical day.

Grunfeld Stuff: Positional Masterpieces 2012-2015 Game 23

May 29

Posted by

Grunfeld Exchange 7.Qa4+(D85)

Game 23 in Positional Masterpieces 2012-2015(Naiditsch and Balogh,Cs Chess Evolution 2016) caught my eye. It’s generally quite painful for d4-players to find something reasonable to play against the Grunfeld but this seems to be worth a closer look.The book has 50 nicely annotated games.

The authors have produced a nice series of books ideal for up to 2200 level(and possibly more).

PositionalMasterpieces_1

Moiseenko-Vachier Lagrave

Biel 2013

White ducked a massive theory fight with the 7.Qa4+Exchange Variation and won a nice positional game based on play against Black’s overextended queenside pawns.
