Final Ranking after 7 Rounds

Final Ranking after 7 Rounds

FMs Radnai and Scharrer Patrick(ITA) shared first with 6/7.

TWIC 1041

Rd6 Rudolf,A-Gonzalez de la Torre(2440)

34..Bf5(diagram)

White had the more dangerous passed pawns on the queenside and the easy plan of Kf2-e3.

34..Bf5 Rudolf,A-Gonzalez de la Torre

White continued 35.Kf2 Ke5 36.Ke3 and won in a few moves after Black dropped the e-pawn.

MTK 4.5-Hort SE 1.5

I contributed a rather sad loss as my teammates won game after game.

Board 4: Al Raheem,M-Yip

After 19.Ne2(diagram)

Black has some piece pressure against White’s pawn center but the d6 pawn is suspiciously weak. Here I wanted to complete development with my worst pieces being Qd8/Ra8 which were doing nothing while the d6 pawn was backward and under attack.

After 19.Ne2 Al Raheem-Yip

I continued 19..Qb6 guarding the d-pawn and attacking b2 with the idea of ..Rad8 and some semblance of development.

Much better was 19..Bxf5! removing the active knight and opening the e-file. After 20.ef Nh4!(analysis diagram) Black is winning as the queen has nowhere to go.

After 20..Nh4(analysis)

Now

(A)21.Qd3 Nxf5 exploits the overloaded queen

(B)21.Qf2 Ng4! 22.Qe1 Nxg2!(diagram) The knights take over.

After 22..Nxg2!(analysis)

Now 23.Kxg2 Ne3+ forks off Bc2 and Black wins.

The actual game was much more mundane

After 25.ab(diagram)

After 25.ab

I played 25..Nxe4??  hoping to exploit the e-file pin. But 26.Nxe4 Bxe4 27.Bxe4 d5(diagram)

After 27..d5

White has the simple 28.Qg4 hitting the undefended Nh4 and escaping the pin to remain up piece. Black wriggled around but had to resign after 53 moves.

Results

MTK won both its matches. I had the day off so not much else to report until pics and PGNs get done and sent to me.
