Budapest TCh 2012 Rd5.2 RAC
Here the Rd5 board 2 game from my RAC team match.
Black sacrificed her queen for three minor pieces as part of the opening and the game followed a fairly typical course.

Sicilian Taimanov 6.Ndb5[B47]
BUD tch Lilienthal 12/13 (5.2), 09.12.2012
Position 1
White has queenside passed pawns and black has a mass of minor pieces ready to jump into action. Is black ready to break on the kingside? or is it white who will roll on the queenside? What should black do now?

Budapest TCh 2012 Div III Rd5
Here is a game by my teammate FM Mihok who usually plays on the top team RAC I but this week was top board for RAC 2.
Mihok is a retired engineer by profession now spending his time teaching chess. He is one of the legions of strong club level players in Budapest that I do battle with regularly as part of my Hungarian chess education.

BTCh III (5.1), 09.12.2012
Critical Position
The pawn count is equal but black has the clearly better pawn structure. White is planning f4 and then Nf3 when black’s forces will be driven back.
What is black’s plan? What do you suggest for black?
-Complete development and squeeze white in the ending
-The kingside looks barren. The correct plan is attack on the kingside
-Something else

This was my game from this morning. There was plenty of exitement as I was in clear danger at one point but this was not apparent to me during the game. Both players made mistakes and in the end I trimphed in a sharp RR-RB ending where my work on endings justified itself in a very circular way.

BTCh Div I, 09.12.2012
I continue to play 4.e3 as a new addition to my repertoire and still show not more than a rudimentary grasp of the ideas.
Position 1
White has just offered an ending. What should black do?
-Retreat the queen
-Trade queens
-Something else

Position 2
After 45..Rxg3, play is sharp and black has some counterplay. How should white continue?
-46.Rd7 wins a tempo and the h-pawn
-46.Rd6 attacks the b-pawn
-46.Rc4 to win the c-pawn
-46.Rd3 offering to trade rooks and then win the R-B ending
-Somthing else

RAC Results
Vasas SC II – Rákosligeti AC I: 6,5-5,5
HÜSI SC II – Rákosligeti AC II: 1,5-10,5
Radnai won by grinding out out a BB vs R game on board one.
Furedi,Erik won his game with BB-BN and four extra pawns on the kingside.
My game was a quick draw but I was forced to accept my opponents offer as my position could only be worse.

White went for a symmetrical structure and a slight advantage but as the game progressed, I kep missing little details.
Critical Position
The position looks completely equal. What do you propose for white?

BTCh Division I: RAC I 4- BEAC III 8-Rd3 2012-11-11
RAC I got crushed by the defending champion BEAC 4-8. I won my game which I should have lost quickly but this was not enough. The round started with a bit of organizational drama as my team Rakosligeti(RAC) did not have any scoresheets so some had to be brought from another playing site.
Our top two boards drew
1. Radnai vs Kormos,A drew in Sicilian sideline that went to an early queenless game.
2. IM Szabolcs,J drew with a slightly better position
3.Szepes,T won with black
5.Mihok,: lost
10.Kun,S was a quick draw.
I had a go taking some pictures with a borrowed camera so hopefully these will be added later.

The game was was a sloppy effort by two sleepy heads having an early morning duel. White was clearly winning but missed the chance(s) to crush me and I made a comeback by inducing some complex play. Eventually white got a bit disoriented and won a pawn but lost the initiative. Black got an attack going and white followed up with a couple of unforturnated errors. Eventually I won the resulting Q(4Ps) vs RN(2Ps) ending as white could not construct a fortress.
Now black is on the attack. How should the game continue?
