Art Pub Budapest 2013-08 Rd4

I lost a tough game to the top seed Laszlo,Imre (2177) in round 4. There were plenty of mistakes to dig out and even after two days looking at the game, I don’t think I found everything but enough is enough as life must go on.

This was the third game on Saturday, played during a Hungarian heatwave weekend.

The queens have come off so that’s my happy face

Black has managed to fight back from a lost postion to this complex RBN-RRB ending. White has two pawns for the exchange and is well placed on the light squares. What do you recommend for black?

The process of reviewing my own games continues in the never ending tasking of fixing the holes in my play. My round 3 game featured no big action but a close analysis showed many little points only a non-human can see.

During the past year, I have wanting to play more actively as opposed to my passive defensive ‘waiting style’. In round 6, I had a try with the Grunfeld and felt like a fish out of water.

A happy organizer

Piroska, Istvan; Gasparics, Akos; Juhasz, Mark and Fodre, Sandor tied for first with 5/6. I finished with 3.5/6 but managed to lose a couple of interesting games.

There was a summer heat wave for the weekend of 40C chess. Many players with big ratings suffered and big performances recorded. Notable were the 2100+ performances of Fodor,B and Bartusek,A.

I had a great time trying to combine chess with learning some basic Hungarian chess phrases. However, the past month’s work of tactical training and general preparation made no impact on my results or level of play.

There are 63 players so far (with thirteen 2000+) for a strong field as a warmup for the Budapest Open later this month. 

There are five unrated players who will be collected enough games to earn their first FIDE ratings. This is the normal(and cheap) way to earn the initial rating-play in a couple or three of these small 90/G tournaments. Then it’s play, play and play some more to climb up the food chain.

Organizer
Horvath, Csaba will also be supplying photos of the action.

Horvath, Csaba


This is one of the hidden little treasures of Budapest. There is one foreign player already-SCHWEIGHOFFER(SUI)-and me makes two so now it’s a little international Open.

Note the cheap entry fees!

Format: 
6-round FIDE rated open(G/90mins) for under FIDE 2200 rated players.
