Canadian Jr Ch 2012 Rd1

Dec 26

Posted by

Here is the only decisive game from Rd1 won by Michael Kleinman.

FM Kleinman,Michael
Background
‘Michael is the most talented and hard-working of the three chess-playing Kleinman brothers who make up the “Norsemen”. Kleinman is third on the Ontario under-18 list and eighth on the national Junior list.
He earned the FM title in 2011, and has been improving rapidly, gaining some 150 rating points in the last year, when he tied for 3rd-5th in the Canadian Youth U-18 chess championship with 4.5/7, won the 2011 Ontario Junior, and tied for 1st-3rd with Roman Sapozhnikov and Nikolay Noritsyn at the Guelph Fall ProAm.
In 2010, he was the Ontario 2010 Closed champion.(more)’ See Cjcc 2012

Song,Michael(2322)-Kleinman,Michael(2368)
Grunfeld g3 7.Qb3 Qb6[D78]
2012–13 Canadian Junior Chess Championship Toronto(1),26.12.2012

Position 1
The Rb7 can be considered active or out of play. Black will soon play …e5 to undermine the c-pawn and the central pawn chain will collapse. What do you suggest for white?

White to Play

17…Na6
Position 2
The ending is very complicated. Ne7 is trapped and Rb7 is out of play. The central pawn chain is also being undermined in light of the coming …ed. What should white do?
White to Play
21…Kf8
