WYCC 2012 Under 14 Open Rd3
Here is an interesting encounter between Hungarian and Canadian juniors played in the U14 Open.
Doknjas,John (1900) lost to a Hungarian junior Peczely,Sebastian(2092) but the difference in strength was not as large as the rating difference would indicate.

Grunfeld Exchange 8.Rb1[D85]
Wch U14 Maribor (3.32), 10.11.2012
White has played aggressively and both sides have had their chances. Now white must play precisely as both king’s are open.
Critcal Position
Black has just played 28…Qe6. Just who is attacking whom now? What do you suggest for white?
- Bxf8 and try to hit g7
- Retreat and guard your own king
- Something else

I chose a quiet queenless game for the least exitement possible but was soon adrift in an equal position.
Critical Position 1
The position looks harmleas enough. But what do you suggest for white?
-13.Be3 increasing the pressure
-13.Nxc6 simpligying and accepting equality
–Somthing else
White to Play
Critcal Position 2
The position has simplified somewhat and now black holds the d-file. What do you propose for white?
-16.Red1 challenging the d-file
-16.Nf3 retreat in passive fashion

Women’s WCh 2012 Rd2
GM Hoang(HUN) was knocked out in Rd2 by GM Kosintseva,T.
GM Kosintseva,T Bio From Wikipedia Tatiana Kosintseva
‘Along with elder sister Nadezhda, the six-year-old Tatiana became a chess player by virtue of a twist of fate. Wandering home from dance lessons with their mother, the pair happened upon a chess club and decided then and there to take up the game.
Soon after, she became a fearsome competitor at the top level of junior chess, her collection of tournament prizes rivalling even her sister’s haul. At the World Youth Chess Championship, she earned silver medals at the Under-10 (Cala Galdana, 1996) and Under-12 (Cannes, 1997) events. In the Under-10 category of the 1996 European Youth Chess Championship held at Rimavska Sobota she went one better, that time taking home the gold medal. Silver medals were added at the Euro events in Mureck (1998) and Kallithea (2000), at Under-12 and Under-18 levels, respectively.
The sisters play side by side in team competitions, most notably at the Chess Olympiad as part of the Russian Women’s national team. Tatiana Kosintseva was also the winner of the 2007 Women’s European Individual Chess Championship.’
Here is the decisive game.

Black gave the h-pawn for counterplay that never happened and is now facing a bleak future. If white plays too slowly black will have time for ..Na6-c7-b5 targeting white’s queenside pawns.How should white proceed to exploit the extra pawn? This is a test of techique in a sharp ending.
