After 23.Bd1(Diagram)

My kingside looks quite loose as White prepares to exploit the light squares but Black has the h-file and a useful knight that can hop into f4.

I had one chance to be clever in the game and missed my chance.

After 23.Bd1

My opponent offered my a draw in what he thought was an even position but some computer checking showed that I was White who had the chances.

I took the offer without much hesitation as White also had a big rating and I was Black and feeling quite sleepy in the game.

MTK won on the top two boards and lost one other game as I left. Not sure how the team did against Pestszentimrei SK.

Yip-Papp,L Board 2

London System against Hippo

I tried something new(again) in the opening did nothing really special against the Hippo formation.

The game was over quickly when my opponent blundered material and the endgame was a straightforward of an extra exchange and pawn.
