Budapest Xmas Open 2012 Rd5

Here’s my rd5 game. I was winning for a large part of the game and then received a shock on the last move of the game.

Reader’s comments
‘You should at least say that 63. … cxb4 ?? is the Blunder. The answer 64.Qf7 would have been more striking…And your comment “wins the trapped bishop” is funny. Why on earth shall someone win this useless bishop?’-Thomas Heyl

Toth,A(1578)-Yip,M(2075)
Philidor[C41]
Xmas Open (5), 29.12.2012

Position 1
Black has a great positon. White is playing without Ba2 and has a completely static pawn structure. How should black continue?

Black to Play

51.Ne3

Position 2
Things look bleak for white. Black threatens …Qa3# and is a pawn up with a fantastic knight. What should white do?

White to Play

69…Ke5

Here’s my round 4 game.

Karacsonyi,G(1514)-Yip,M(2075)
Philidor Ending[B07]
Xmas Open(4),29.12.2012

Final Position
Black is in check and facing the loss of a piece, politely resigned. During the post-mortem analysis, someone suggested that I should have played on. And they were right! Apparently I resigned in a winning position(or at least a non-resignable position).

I lost my morning game with white against Mark Medve(1974) in a long game. Rd2 saw some upsets and at least I was not the only one. Medve is another rising Hungarian junior.

Here is my rd3 draw played in the afternoon. Both sides had chances in a tense and sloppy game.

Black’s back rank and dark squares look suspicious and Na6 is out of play. How to exploit this though? What should white play?
