TWIC 1172-The Grunfeld Defence

Apr 27

Posted by

Trying to Kill the Grunfeld

This the perpetual task of 1.d4 players, trying to get something against the Grunfeld.

Game 1: Korobov-Rodshtein

g3 Solid Line(D78)

After 27..Rfc7(Diagram)

White did not get anything special from the opening but managed to grind out an endgame win.

Game 2: Yu Yangyi-Cawdery

4.Bg5 Ne4(D80)

After 20..b5(Diagram)

The endgame was again the decisive battleground.

After 20..b5

Game 3: Leitao-Cawdery

4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3

After 27..Kg7(Diagram)

Black chose the wrong plan in the middlegame and was in trouble.

No hints this time.

Some games from this issue of TWIC.

Game 1: Zhou Jianchao-Gao Rui

ch-CHN 2017

Reti vs Grunfeld

After 19..Ne6(Diagram)

White is pressing but how to continue?

After 19..Ne6

Game 2: Gao Rui-Kryvoruchko

TCh-CHN 2017

Berlin Defence 5.Re1(C67)

After 43..Nf7(Diagram)

Winning with Black in this line is not a normal expectation. Black kept equality and maintained the tension by keeping the queens on. It is not so clear who is playing for what in this position.

How should White continue?

The Centre from New in Chess

280 pages

 

“..

With a series of books about the middle-game, we would like to present different topics of chess tactics and strategy in a slightly different way. Books, which will be published in the coming years as part of the series, are planned to cover all frequently discussed themes, as well as many others topics — those about which chess players and also trainers usually do not think as deeply as they should in order to achieve better results.

We are starting our series with a book about the center. We will take two different approaches to this topic: the classical one, which will help us to discover all fundamental knowledge about the center. This study is crucial for good understanding of chess. The second approach is more modern: we will think about the center more dynamically, through the eyes of a grandmaster, a practical chess player. We will try to copy this two-part structure in the future books, in which planning, analyzing, move decisions, pawn structures and various other topics will be discussed…”

I stumbled my way to a win on time for MTK III but a win is a win.

Yip-Zlotor Board 12

After 35..Nf6(Diagram)

I was analyzing 36.Nd6 and 36.Nd6 which seemed reasonable but found an even faster way to win.

After 35..Nf6

I pointed to the clock and claimed a win on time.

Home analysis showed the final position was winning and also showed how little I noticed that was correct. But my exchange blunder was not as bad as I initially thought

After 21..Nc4(Diagram)

I noticed the ..g4 followed by ..Nd2 fork idea and took decisive measures to avoid the pesky tactic.

After 21..Nc4

But 22.Qc2? was met with an equally tricky 22..Na3 with a fork anyway.

New Titles from New in Chess

New books keep coming out bigger and better(I hope).

The Hedgehog-434 pages

“The authors not only recommend a contemporary move order after the ditch has been set, but they also explain how to reach this goal with various move orders for White.

The book is all the more convincing as it is based on the successful practical experience of one of the authors…”

King’s Indian-448 pages

“..Victor Bologan presents a complete King’s Indian repertoire for Black that is much more than just a lucidly explained and very playable set of responses. In many lines he presents two options to handle the Black position.

Bologan’s explanations are accessible for a wide range of players and he provides the reader with a thorough grounding in the strategic and tactical motifs. White players can benefit from this book as well, since the author looks at all the lines from both sides..”

GRENKE Chess Open 2017
