Cuban Power-GM Bruzon(CUB) Quebec Open 2012

Dec 2

Posted by

Here is a nice game which features knight power from the visiting Cuban GM Bruzon(2711) who stopped by to play in the Quebec Open earlier this year.

Video- Youtube

Bruzon Batista,Lazaro

Panjwani,Raja (2416) – Bruzon Batista,Lazaro (2711)
English Opening [A36]
Quebec op inv. Montreal CAN (1), 21.07.2012[Yip]

Critical Position
Black has a pair of knights but white has a pair of bishops(and doubled c-pawns). The question is how to best exploit the knights? What do you suggest for black?

The Bargain Chess of Budapest

Dec 2

Posted by

I love the chess in Budapest. Especially the prices. The key is to how to find the events.

Beautiful Budapest

The most important resource is the Hungarian Chess Federation Tournament Listing Chess.hu.
From there you have to decipher to Hungarian language advertisements (or email the contact for an English version and hope for some luck).

My favorite event of 2012 was the Budapest Open sarkanydse Budapest Open/GM/IM which was played along the strongest GM tournament of the year in Budapest and an IM norm tournament.

By luck, I also met organizers of the Budapest Team Championship and was invited to play on the Rakosligeti team(RAC). This is my third season with the RAC team.

Here is a summary of the events I played in for 2012 so far. Usually I play in everything humanly possible except First Saturday(FS). I took part in 9 FS RRs in 2009 but have since not participated. FS prices are out of line with the market, of which I was not aware of at the time. Also FS does not offer prizes, as is usual in all other tournaments here.

One Game Per Day RR Events
I played 5 RR events this year. These were gruelling events not usually available in Canada. The CAN$18-25 range should make Canadian players take notice. However, they are not easy to play in and demand an intense level of energy. First Saturday also has a monthly series of RR events. See their program Firstsaturday 2012_2013.

There is also the Spring Festival Open which I did not play in. I loved the Budapest Open best.
