Black has given up a bishop to tear open the kingside but how should the attack be continued?
Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd7-GM Ruck R(HUN)

GM Ruck played a nice good N vs B middlegame and then ground out a tough R vs. B ending in the Hungarian Team Ch rd7. There were many interesting facets to this game.

4.e3 Bb4 5.Qc2 [A28]
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Nagykanizsa HUN (7), 17.02.2013
Position 1
Black has more space and the more active pieces but there is no real target to attack. What do you suggest for black?
- 27…a6(make a tidying up move first)
- 27…R8d7(reinforce the 7th rank as preparation for action)
- 27…Kg8(get the king off the b1-h7 diagonal just in case. There is no need to rush as white has no counterplay)
- Something else
Position 2
Black has the exchange for a pawn. What should black do now?
Black to Play
Position 3
Black has reached a tough endgame but white’s position has no weaknesses. What should black do now?
- Shuffle the rook up and down the e-file(following the ‘do not rush’ guideline)
- Get the rook to d5 and then activate the king
- Something else

Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd7-Szabo K(HUN)
TWIC 955
The French Winawer Poisoned Pawn is a popular line but the attempt to duck massive theory with 11…dc puts black on the wrong end of a sharp line after 12.h4! Black badly needs a good idea here as white gets big pressure with the simple Rb1/Rg1 formation.

Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd7(TWIC 955)-Nagy G
The new Hungarian junior champion played some dynamic attacking chess to beat veteran GM Pinter. The bishop pair and then opposite color bishops played a key role.

Semi-Slav Marshall Gambit 8.Ne2 Nd7[D31]
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Nagykanizsa HUN (7), 17.02.2013
Position 1
- 27.Bc3(Immediately activating a passive piece and taking control of the weak dark squares, especially e5)
- 27.Ne2(The knight should go to c3 while Be1-f2 is good for the dark bishop as Rc8 will be tied down)
- 27.Qg5(The kingside dark squares are vulnerable and begging to be infiltrated)
- 27.b3(A patient waiting move that secures the queenside. The optimal arrangement will be more apparent when black commits his king)
- Something else.
Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd6
Here is an attacking game from recent(TWIC 952) Hungarian Team Ch rd6 action.

TCh-HUN 2012–13 Decs HUN (6), 27.01.2013
Position 1
Black is preparing a queenside counterattack with 19…Rc8. Both sides are now in a race to mate each other’s kings. What do you suggest for white?

Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd6
Here is a recent(TWIC 952) game from the Hungarian Team Ch.
Black won the bishop pair for a rook and decided the game in a sharp ending.
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Decs HUN (6), 27.01.2013
Position 1
The bishop pair should dominate the lone rook in the ending. How should black continue?

GM Master Class: GM Nevednichy,V The Knight Pair
Here is an example of knight pair play against BN from the recent Hungarian TCh 2012-13 Rd5.
Nevednichy,V (2554) – Horvath,Zs (2400)
Sicilian 3.Bb5+ [B52]
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Paks HUN (5), 02.12.2012
Critical Position 1
The position is slightly better for white at best. The real question is what to do and how to conduct the game. Tactical play is not the focus here. First it is necessary to understand the position and the needs of each side.
What do you propose for white?
- Play on the queenside-Nc4 is the strongpoint of white’s position and opening lines with a5 makes sense.
- Play in the center-White has two knights. One is alredy well placed on c4. The other belongs on d5.
- Something else

Hungarian TCH 2012-13 Rd5
Here’s an example subtle endgame play from the new Hungarian champion Berkes,F.
White gets nothing appreciable from the opening and offers a queen trade. The ending seems rather harmless but a closer look at the game reveals many subtle points.
Enjoy the game.
Berkes,F (2685) – Kovacevic,A (2549)
Queen’s Indian 7.Bd2 Bf6[E17]
TCh-HUN 2012–13 Paks HUN (5), 02.12.2012
Critical Position 1
The queen’s have just been traded off. Now is it safe for black to take the c3 pawn with 22…Bxc3?
