TWIC 958

GM Berczes,D played a nice game in rd9 of the Dallas FIDE Open illustrating the following themes
  • Lead in development
  • Play against overextended pawns
  • Play against an uncastled king
  • Delayed castling
Here is the game.

Berczes,D (2526) – Friedel,J (2502)

UTD Turner GM Invitational 2013 Richardson USA (9), 13.03.2013


Position 1

RAC 4-Hort SE 2
RAC won the match but I managed to contribute only a winning position but not a winning result. In fact the result is quite hard to explain.

Bokros,Istvan my opponent just before the round


Here’s my game.

Yip,M (2009) – Bokros,I (2140) 
Benoni 7.Bf4[A61]
BTCh Div IV, 18.03.2013


My opponent, Istvan Bokros has represented the ICSC (International
Commitee of Silent Chess) team at several Chess Olympiads.


Position 1
White has played well and is clearly winning with a healthy P+ and a mobile central pawn majority. My logic was as follows.

The BB pair is passive and the next phase is to neutralize counterplay and activate the bishops. What should white do now?

Here’s my rd 6 game.

I drew with black against promising junior Varga,R in a long hard game. pressed with the bishop pair in a closed position but could not make anything happen. Varga already had 2.5/3 against FIDE 2000+ players so I was careful not to be the next victim.

Josef Varosi Open (6), 17.03.2013


Position 1
(Not a quiz position)
I tried as hard as I could to break white down but in the end could not. However, there was nothing there to be found as it was easier to get blood out of a stone than to squeeze a win out of this position.

Josef Varosi Open 2013 Day 3 Report; Rd5 Game

Mar 17

Posted by

Day 3
I finished with 4/6 in a nothing special result. My one forgetable game in rd3 exposed a hole in my repertoire and in the two draws I conceded, one I could have done better and the rd 6 game I have yet to review.

There were 13 2000+ players who took part which translates into 8-9 middle age guys trying to walk through a wall of juniors for three days. There were upsets every round and plenty on interesting games.

I was chatting with a chess friend after the tournament who made the following comment on my play,

‘You have no style, you just play moves!…’

Rd5
I won with white against young Forgacs,Andras(1448). Mark Medve beat Mester,A to get to 5-0. I lost a nice game to Medve in the Xmas open just a couple of months ago and he had gained about 100 FIDE points since then.

Rd6
I drew with black against promising junior Varga,R in a long hard game. pressed with the bishop pair in a closed position but could not make anything happen. Varga already had 2.5/3 against FIDE 2000+ players so I was careful not to be the next victim.

I did not see how the Medve game turned out before I left.

Here is my rd5 game.

Yip,M (2009) – Forgacs,A (1448) 
Slav Exchange[D13]
Josef Varosi Open (5), 17.03.2013


Position 1
The middlegame is going well for white. Black’s king is exposed and white has an extra pawn. White’s queen has just been attacked. What should white do about it?

Rd4

i tried as hard as I could to break down white’s defenses but in the end could not and offered a draw. This was quite disappointing as I had the advantage(or so I thought) for most of the game.Here’s my round 4 game.

Kokeny,N (1746) – Yip,M (2009) 
Queen’s Indian Hybrid[E13]
Josef Varosi Open (4), 16.03.2013

Position 1
The has been going well for black. There is some pressure on the kingside and white’s pawn structure is compromised. What do you recommend for black now?

  • 35…e4(flank attacks require the center be closed)
  • 35…ed(Black needs to create a second front and should not mind undoubling white’s c-pawns)
  • 35…cd(Black needs to create a second front and should not mind undoubling white’s c-pawns)
  • Something else
