Spanish Arkangelsk(C78)
33rd ECC Open 2017
After 33..Rd8(Diagram)
It is not immediately clear how White should make progress as both sides have weak pawns. White cannot force the creation of a passed pawn easily and has no convenient tactics to win material.
What do you suggest?

After 10..0-0(Diagram)
Black initiated sharp play right out of the opening and is hoping to catch White uncastled. But it is White’s turn and each move is worth its weight in gold.
How should White continue?

Black is up an exchange but it is by no means clear that there is a force win.
After 39.Rc1
Much later after 115.Kg4(Diagram)
Black made it look easy from here but the method was quite interesting. I initially thought that White has drawing chances with play only on one wing but the more I look, the it seems like White has little to no chance to hold.

MTK 4.5-Sztaki 1,5
The unrated Monday Team events are great for getting extra practice, and I need all I can get.
I went with TWIX over Snickers again and the twin towers of chocolate and caramel were the difference.
I won on board 2. Boards 1,3 were quick draws.
Vienna Gambit 2..Nf6 3.f4
The opening was a surprise as early as move 3 as my empty mind drew a blank and I had to improvise but it seemed like my opponent was of a similar mindset. At some point I was given an exchange and a winning position which I misplayed on the way to a win in the endgame.
After 37.Ke4(Diagram)
I calculated to here previously and had something in mind and then after a double-check of the line things looked pretty good.
Black has a hanging rook and the passed e,f pawns look quite dangerous.
