Games from Rd6

Jankovic-Berkes

After 26..Kd6(Diagram)

White must play precisely to hold this tricky endgame.

White should be done about the attacked Rc7?

After 26..Kd6

Gara,T-Gevorgyan

After 34..Ke8(Diagram)

White had big pressure after Black went on an unnecessary king walk to the queenside.

Now it is White to play and win.(There is more than one way even)

Hoang-Cornette,D

After 20..Qb6(Diagram)

Black sacrificed a pawn for active play and now pieces are hanging all over the board.

What do you suggest for White?

After 20..Qb6

Later in the game

After 31..Kg7(Diagram)

White has the better structure with a queenside majority and play against an isolated QP. Also the bishop pair counts for something.

What do you suggest?

Find the knockout blow.

Kalaiyalahan-Gara,T

After 32.Nd6(Diagram)

The strong knight on d6 gives some compensation for the pawn but Black also has strongly centralized minor pieces.

A pawn is pawn so how should Black continue?

After 32.Nd6

Erdos-Steingrimsson rd1

After 18..Rc8(Diagram)

Black unnecessarily weakening his kingside pawns shield earlier and hopes the bishops and c-pawn will be enough compensation after taking the c5-pawn.

How should White deal with this plan?

After 18..Rc8

Gretarsson-Rapport,R rd1

Queen’s Indian Defence

Rapport played the Queen’s Indian quite creatively and exploited some optimistic but ultimately loosening pawn play by White.

After 44.Re7(Diagram)

The Ne5 is attacked.

How should Black continue?
