Art Pub Cup Fide U2200 2018 November 2-4
Round 2
There were upsets all over the place, starting with a surprise on board 1
I had to concede a draw in round one but did nothing to deserve a win. Round 2 I was the benefactor of an unsound sacrifice(..Bxh2+) but still I managed to miscalculate it. Well I won so enough said
The tournament seems to be getting bigger but many of the faces are familar
I chatted briefly with another player from New Zealand(sporting a Texas Ranger T-shirt and cap)

TWIC 1251 Hungarians in Action
Game 1
Prohaszka-Ostrovskiy
Tarrasch Defence(by transposition)
SPICE Cup Open 2018 rd3
After 26..Ke7(Diagram)
Black is defending a typical single weakness ending with an isolated QP.
White do you recommend for White. (You are not looking for a flashy forced win)

BTCh 6-Board 2018 Rd2
MTK hosted Siralyi at the Lauder School
I contributed a tough draw on board 3
Juhasz,B-Yip,M
Queen’s Indian g3
After 23.e4(Diagram)
Black had previously misplayed the opening and missed the chance to break in the centre with ..c5. Now White opens the position up and things look a bit suspicious for me.
What do you recommend for Black?
TWIC 1250 Sicilian 3.Bb5
Here are a couple of nice examples
Example 1
Granda Zuniga-Vidit
3..g6 4.Bxc6 bxc6-6.c3
34th ECC Open 2018 rd6
After 18..e5(Diagram)
Black has the bishop pair while White has fewer pawn islands. If left undisturbed Black will try to load up on the d-file and perhaps send the knight to d4
What do you recommend for White?
Example 2
Antipov,M-Vuckovic
3..g6 4.Bxc6 dxc6-6.Re1 Nh6
34th ECC Open 2018 rd6
After 21..Bd7(Diagram)
Black has a wonderful blockading Ne6 but his bishops are not doing very much at the moment. White can possibly play on the queenside by preparing the b3-b4 expansion with a2-a3. Or perhaps a kingside attacking with h4-h5(after Kg2 etc and suitable preparation)
