TWIC 1296 Sicilian Taimanov

Keeping up with Pavlidis and The Sicilian Taimaov

 

selected games

Mista-Duda

Taimanov Sicilian 9.Nxc6(B48)

TCh-POL Ekstraliga 2019 Rd8.1

The 9.Nxc6 line is a sideline compared to the main 9-Na4 complex. After 12..cxd5(Diagram)

After 12..cxd5

White played the rare 13.Bd4 a5(The Pavlidis novelty) White sprang the new idea  14.Rf3(a rook lift with the simple idea of attacking on the kingside, but not considered by Pavlidis). In the sharp play that followed, this position was reached

 

After 22.Qd6(Diagram)

Black has two pawns for the exchange but the Rf8 is not doing much and the d7-pawn is under attack

What do you recommend for Black?

After 22.Qd6

Berkes,F-Arsovic

Classical King’s Indian 9.Bg5

Serbian League 2019 Rd11

After 19..Qf6(Diagram)

White has the e-file but no clear infiltration points. The QB battery on the b1-h7 looks potentially useful but is presently blocked by the Nf5

What do you recommend for White?

The tournament was another success. The tournament seems to get more and more popular.

Vargyas Zoltan played very well to win clear first.

There were many upsets in every round and the big guns fell and never recovered

I managed to win my last round game to secure 5th place.

I had to play against my MTK teammate in the last round. I checked my games today and confirmed what I already knew. The games were of generally poor quality, full of silly mistakes and are on the whole nothing to brag about. The best game was in the last round where I won to take 5th place.

Delayed Benoni

After 18..f6(Diagram)

White has a nice lead in development which is a dynamic advantage and normal strategy is to try and convert this into a more stable positional advantage

What do you recommend for White?

White chose the less common 10.Bxb5 in the featured game and won quickly
