Today’s work included looking at my games from last tournament

Yip-Karacsonyi,G

Queen’s Gambit Declined

Art Pub Open rd4

After some adventures in the early part of the game, I built up a nice position. Then funny things started to happen before the game ended in an exiting draw.

Critical Position 1

After 23..Qf7(Diagram)

White is fully invested in a kingside attack.

What do you recommend for White?

Critical Position 2

After 41.Qxb6(Diagram)

The position looks murky.

What do you recommend for Black?

 

One more game to check after this.

Then a break!

Yip-Palinkas

Rd2

The opening was nothing special for White but then Black started to make concessions and finally I was able to take central space and take over the position.

After 30..Bd7(Diagram)

White commands the board but needs to find the right plan

White do you recommend for White?

Stevic-Yip

(Hyper) Accelerated Dragon

Rd3

The first round loss did not discourage me from the Accelerated Dragon experiment and I was reward with an equal position but with a broken set of queenside pawns. I was able to make good use of the d4-outpost during the game and finally my opponent gave me the d-file and eventually blundered into a loss.

After 53.Qf6(Diagram)

White is trying to break the blockade and push the e-pawn

What do you recommend for Black?

Palczert,M-Yip

1.b3

Rd6

The opening went badly for White but Black was also quite imprecise. The double rook went smoothly though

After 37.Rf4(Diagram)

Black has a technically won position with an extra P and control of the e-file

What do you recommend for Black?

Chivela,D-Yip

Closed Sicilian

rd7

After 28.Rd1(Diagram)

The opening has been a nightmare for White and the d3-pawn is about to drop off

What do you recommend for Black?

 

This was a very professionally run event with the option of a lunch menu from the Art Pub restaurant and Bar

There were many arbiters and good quality sets and digital clocks.
