Black has given up a bishop to tear open the kingside but how should the attack be continued?
Budapest TCh 2012-13 Monday League Final Board 4
Rakospalotai AC 3-Vizugyi SC 3
Board 4
I managed to make a nerve racking draw in the end as our team managed a 3-3 tie.
Black’s kingside is wide open and the queenside pawns are broken. White has compensation for the pawn invested at a minimum and is looking for more. What do you recommend for white?

Position 1
The has been going well for black. There is some pressure on the kingside and white’s pawn structure is compromised. What do you recommend for black now?
- 35…e4(flank attacks require the center be closed)
- 35…ed(Black needs to create a second front and should not mind undoubling white’s c-pawns)
- 35…cd(Black needs to create a second front and should not mind undoubling white’s c-pawns)

Tata Steel 2013 Group A
Here’s Aronian’s nice endgame win over Leko from Tata Group A. For more see Tatasteelchess. The site has a fantastic gallery.
Aronian obtains a better pawn structure but Leko has the bishop pair for an active defence. Later the ending is BN-BB but with Aronian having an extra pawn.

When I left RAC I was down 6-5 with Radnai,A still playing with an extra pawn in a R(4Ps)-R(3Ps). Radnai later won his game as we tied the match 6-6. This was a great results as one of our players did not play due to problems finding the playing site.
Position 1
White has a strong attack going on the light squares and black is helpless. How should white continue the attack?

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.
