Hoang-Rapport,J

Queen’s  Gambit Accepted

After 19..Qxe3(Diagram)

How should White recapture?

(a)20.Nxe3

White can play against the weak queenside pawns with no risk

(b)20.fxe3

Hope something happens on the f-file while Kf2 is always possible should the e3-pawn run into trouble.

NIC Yearbook 126 Sicilian Dragon

Apr 10

Posted by

YB 126 has a survey on the 11..b5 Yugoslav Dragon(diagram)

After 11..b5

There were only a couple of recent games and the treatment of 12.0-0-0 was based on old games. I did a little update to get a better understanding of what was going on.

After 24..Qb6(Diagram)

This is all theory and is given by Jones in The Dragon(Quality Chess 2015)

After 24..Qb6

I found a recent game with 25.Kf2 which is not given by Jones.

The Dragon is not in any danger though and still lives

The final position was 46.Rfe2(Diagram)

TWIC 1221 King’s Indian

Apr 4

Posted by

Selected games

Checking the King’s Indian Defence translates into keeping up with Kotronias and his massive 5-volume series on the popular defence.

Here are this week’s findings:

Carow-Kozul

Saemish 6.Be3 e5

GRENKE Chess Open 2018 rd4

Here is a nice example of squeezing something from nothing (with a bit of help from the opponent)

After 29.Kc1(Diagram)

The structure is symmetrical and yet Black is pressing

What do you recommend for Black?

After 29.Kc1

Kulaots-Turov

Makoganov 6.h3 e5

TV2 Fagernes GM Open 2018 rd7

After 22.Qxf3(Diagram)

Black had earlier made a positional exchange sacrifice and is now looking for active play as compensation. The bishops proved to be very useful

What do you recommend for Black?

After 22.Qxf3

Vrolijk-Heimann

GRENKE Chess Open 2018 rd8

Be2 e3-Poison Variation

Here is a case of the poisoner being poisoned. Smith recommends a host of lines featuring the modest e3 in e3-Poison(Quality Chess 2017)

After 25.Rfd1(Diagram)

Black is more active and is dominating key files and diagonals

What do you recommend for Black?

After 25.Rfd1

Aronian-Naiditsch

5.Nge2

GRENKE Chess Classic 2018 rd2

After 23..Nd7(Diagram)

White has a fabulous position.

Suggest the winning plan and the moves will follow.

After 23..Nd7

Ma Qun-Clarke

Saemisch 6.Be3 c5 7.dc dc Endgame variation

O2C Doeberl Cup 2018 rd6

After 29..Kh6(Diagram)

Black has taken the death walk with his king(hint!)

What do you recommend for White?

After 29..Kh6

Pavlovic,M-Landa,K

Queen’s Indian e3

GRENKE Chess Open 2018 rd8

After 26.Ne2

Noe-Kasimdzhanov,R

Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 0-0

GRENKE Chess Open 2018 rd9

After 23..Ne8(Diagram)

White is pressing on the d-file, attacking the d-pawn and is also ready to occupy the d5-outpost
