Playing 1.d4 The Queen’s Gambit 2012-Verifying Schandorff
Repertoire Against the Semi-Slav
Schandorff proposes the Bg5 complex against the rock solid Semi-Slav in Playing 1.d4 vol2-Schandorff(Quality Chess 2012). In the analysis of
Schandorff’s proposes 15…Kb8 as a key defensive novelty which remains untested to TWIC 852. I found a key improvement for black in the notes to black’s 18th move.
After 21…ed,white has a wide choice of captures. What do you suggest for white?
Grunfeld Trends 2013-TWIC 952 4.e3 Bg7(D80)

White has more space and is ready to press the kingside. What do you suggest for white?
- 35.g5
- 35.f5
- Somthing else

Budapest TCh 2012-13 Monday League Rd6 Feb 4 2013
I drew my game and was lucky not to lose as my opponent showed me too much respect.
RAC played UKSE in a 6 board team match(unrated).
One of our players did not show up. When I left, RAC had 2 wins and 2 draws with our board 1 still playing trying to grind out a g3 Queen’s Indian with a space advantage.
I played rather horribly and on the walk back to the metro with my teammates I walked right into a low-hanging street sign and gave my head a good bashing which caused a good burst of laughter. Such was my evening.
The only good thing (apart from not losing) about the day was that before the round I found a little used book shop and bought two cheap Hungarian chess books.
Here’s the game.

-34…gf to open up white’s kingside
-34…h6 to reinforce the kingside
