Here is a beautiful game by Peter Leko from Tata Steel Group A played in rd11. The Tata Steel event was beautifully photographed and organized.

Van Wely defended aggressively with the Sicilian Dragon but Leko invited a RRB-RRN ending and showed some fabulous technique to grind out the win in model fashion.

Here a game from the 18th Bosnjaci Open(CRO) played by Aczel,G.

Black played a passive version of the g3 King’s Indian and was slowly being squeezed. After breaking on the kingside, black’s king was very vulnerable and  the kingside eventually crumbled.

Here is Rapport’s rd11 with Naiditsch who won a fantastic minor piece ending BN-BN with opposite color bishops. 

The game started off with a harmless looking Winawer with 4.ed ed. Then the maneuvering action started with Rapport having his share of the chances.
