GM Rapport kept the queens on for the maximum tension playing the white side of a g3 Nimzo-Indian. He was finally rewarded for persistence in the sharp QR-QR phase when GM Short loosened his king’s position and allowed a devastating attack.

GM Czebe played an exiting (and unexplainable) game against GM Short.

13th BCC Open 2013 Pattaya THA (9.8), 21.04.2013

Position 2
White’s king is out in the open and exposed. What do you recommend for black?
  • 32..Qxg7(win the pawn and grind out the P+ with no risk)
  • 32..Qg4+(go for the kill right away)
  • 32..Qc4+(go for the kill)
  • 32..Qf6(go for the kill with …Qf3+)
  • 32..Qd8(go for the kill)
  • 32…b5(stretch the defence using the b-pawn to create a second front)
  • 32…h5(give the king an escape hole first before going to the attack)

Black to Play
 32.Be3
