Budapest Team Ch 2013 Rd4

Results

I contributed a draw with black as RAC I rolled to a big win. RAC II also won by a big margin.

In my game, I defended the Philidor ending inaccurately but my opponent did not capitalize and eventually steered into a safe position where my knight pair outplayed the bishop pair and the backward d-pawn was not a problem.

Black too far too many liberties in the opening and early middlegame. Now white has a winning attack and is looking for the kill. What do you suggest?

After the round I visited the Hungarian High School Team Ch which was nearby. I was promised some pictures for the blog by one the the coaches-GM Joseph Horvath who was particularly happy as his team was in the lead. The event will last a couple more days.

Here is my game from this evening(Monday Oct 29).

White tried an unsound queen sacrifice early in the opening and is now being pushed back. Black has Q+P for 3 minors pieces and has consolidated nicely.

Budapest TCh Rd1-Benko Gambit

The Benko Gambit has been getting a lot of attention lately.

Here is an interesting effort from the Budapest TCh Rd1.

Critical Position 1
Black has just played the novelty 13…Rfc8. Normally black would play ..Rfb8 with play on the a.b files. Now black can support …c4 and follow with …Nc5-d3 with light square play. How do you assess the move? What should white do next? Seek a refuation? Play a normal move and keep the tension?

Critical Position 2
The position is complicated. What is the right plan for black?
