TCh-AUT 2012-13 Rd5,GM Banusz T(HUN)
TWIC 957
The King’s Indian Attack can be tricky to defend against.
In the feature game, Hungarian GM Banusz defends in classical fashion refusing to give any space advantage on either wing. After white tries to force the issue on the kingside, the defense sprang to life and energetically took over the game.

Black is still uncastled. How should white exploit this?

TCh-AUT 2012-13 GM Ribli(HUN)
Here is an instructive game from veteran GM Ribli who grinds out a long R-R ending that is a theoretical draw but still is worth playing out.
Positon 1
Black is a pawn down but kept the rook active. The kingside pawns have been arranged optimally after 35..h5 so if white tries to advance with h3/g4 black will trade off a pair of pawns with …hg and the draw will be one step closer.
How should white start the winning attempt off?
White to Play
Position 2
The defense is going as planned for black. The queenside pawns have been liquidated and now a set of kingside pawns will be liquidated. White advanced on the kingside and after 42.g4 hg, white must decide how to recapture.
What do you suggest?
White to Play
Position 3
Black has been defending stubbornly for 87 moves now. What should black do now?
- 88…Ke5 activating the king and attacking the e4 pawn
- 88…Rg1+ forcing the king to retreat or go to the h-file and be marooned
- Something else

Position 1
After 20…Bf5, black seems to have a satisfactory position with the QBB pointing menacing at the queenside and Nb4 in support. What should white play?

TCh-AUT 2012–13 Hohenems AUT (2.1), 03.11.2012
The ending has been reached and white is pushing hard. How should white continue? Improve the king? Open a second front on the kingside? Is there a hidden tactic? Or something else perhaps?
