Houdini 3 Now Released
The latest version is now out.
‘The new Houdini 3 contains many evaluation and search improvements in all phases of the game and is about 50 Elo stronger than its predecessor Houdini 2. The opening improvements are mostly related to piece activity and space management and are convincingly demonstrated by the progress in Fischer Random Chess for which Houdini 3 has become about 75 Elo stronger. In the middle game Houdini 3 has significant enhancements for recognizing pieces with limited mobility and in king-side safety. In end games Houdini 3 will seek deeper and solve more positions than before.
In the new Tactical Mode Houdini 3 will adapt its search strategy to prefer tactical solutions rather than positional moves in the root position. Some clever search tricks transform the engine into the most proficient tactical position solver ever. In tactical test suites the Tactical Mode will find more solutions and provide significantly faster solution times.
The Accelerated Principal Variation Search or “Smart Fail-High” is especially useful in very deep analysis when a different move becomes best at very high search depth. Houdini 3 will apply an automatic depth reduction that often speeds up finding the Principal Variation by a factor of 5 to 10.
Besides Nalimov and Gaviota End Game Table Bases, Houdini 3 now also supports Scorpio bitbases. These bitbases are loaded in memory when the program starts (requiring about 300 MB of memory) and are then readily available to the engine.
Hash usage has been optimized, improving back-tracking analysis. Houdini 3 Pro will now support hash tables up to 256 GB…More – Houdini

Canadian GM Hansen,E into the World Cup
Mar del Plata 2012 :
‘The banana ate the monkey’– Chessbase News
Canadian GM Hansen,E qualifies for the World Cup. Hansen scored a GM norm in the recent Olympiad and also won this year’s Canadian Open Championship for a highly sucessful year so far.
As he later explained, with nothing to lose (his description), the tension lifted and he played at his most relaxed. He by no means rolled over Flores, but a late mistake by Diego when both were down to a minute, cost him the game, and Eric Hansen had pulled off the miracle, coming from behind and becoming the last and least expected qualifier.

6th Varna Open Varna BUL (7.4), 18.07.2012
Black has typical counterplay well under way. Both bishops are fianchettoed and the e5 pawn is a permanent target. The queenside pawns are poised to advance and black controls the d-file. But how to proceed?

First Saturday FMA2 Koczo wins 8/9
Here is an interesting game from the recently completed FS FMA2 tournament. Usually non-norm tournament games do not get much attention. Here is an effort by one of the visiting Kuwait team members.

Josef Varosi Open Final Standings
Mester,A won with a perfect 6-0 score. I took =2nd with Mezei, Dombai and Nogrady. In the last round, Juhasz was in control againt Mester but blundered a piece.
The weather was beautiful for three days so all in all this was another Budapest bargain weekend of chess.
The entry fee(net of 10% discount from the Budapest Discount Card-from the Hungarian Chess Federation) was 9.6EUR/12.6/USD/12.5CAD.
The discount card costs 1000HUF(3.6EUR/4.7USD/4.6CAD). The only catch is waiting for the card. Participating tournament organisers download a cardholder list before every tournament to give eligible players their discounts.
The sad part of this and similar tournaments is that the games will go unpublished and unentered into any databases and just vanish.

Round 5 King’s Indian Yip-Czimer,J
I had some trouble after getting a nice position in the opening. Finally the game reached an ending and I managed to squeeze out a long win.
White to play
The c7 pawn is the only reasonably attackable weakness. How do you proceed?
Round 6 London System vs King’s Indian Bege,A-Yip
I was again confronted with the London System but this time I had a better idea of what to do. After some unusual play from white, this position was reached. I sank into thought to think of the correct plan.

Josef Varosi Open Day 2-Rounds 3-4
The second day of action saw Mester,A and Mezei,C emerge with 4-0 scores. Three players follow with 3.5/4 followed by a large group with 3/4,
I won my third game against the #2 player Domabi(2181),I but lost the fourth game against Mezei,C(2105).
In my round 3 game I was white against Dombai. Play was sharp and white went over for a direct attack on the king. After 21…h6 here is the position
