BTCh 6-Board 2017-18 Rd5
MTK 4.5-Siralyi 1,5
I contributed a tense win.
There were two matches at the same location today.
Yip,Nagy,M
Reti vs Dutch
After 14..Nh5(Diagram)
I played the opening rather lazily but had some superficial confidence based on the hole on e6 and the e-file.
My original plan was f2-f4 driving off the strong Ne5 but the problem is ..Ng3.
How should White deal with the ..Nf3+ idea?
If I accept the knight then ..Qh3 and then ..Be5 with death on h2 is coming.
What do you recommend for White?
