The big team did not do so well but IM Juhasz,A drew a GM.

MTK continues to emphasize developing junior players so this round I sat out so that MTK can make another strong player.

MTK Budapest – Kőbánya SC: 2,5-9,5

I’m not sure but I think there were 3 GMs on the other team playing boards 1-3 and they lined up in order of strength with an IM on board 10.

MTK Budapest II. – Salgótarjáni TSE: 7-5

Sharp Endgames

” Endgames often give rise to the most difficult and pivotal moments of a chess game. In Sharp Endgames, International Master Esben Lund tackles this crucial topic in a unique and innovative way, focusing on the 16 Parameters involved in this type of decision-making.

The book contains more than a hundred carefully chosen exercises, with solutions linked to the 16 Parameters. The feedback is concrete and gives the player a clear way to improve his or her understanding and skill. The exercises can be played out against a partner or engine; the book even contains a step-by-step guide explaining how to configure a chess engine for this purpose.”

Looks like a gold mine of knowledge.

Who wouldn’t want to learn about the Lund Line?
