Yip-Suliajda

Board 4

Anti-Benko

After 39..Rbb7(Diagram)

I started with a promising position from the opening and let my advantage slip away. Somewhere along the line I fell in love with the idea of making a positional exchange sacrifice and reached this position.

White has good compensation for the exchange and attacks the weak a-pawn. However, the Nc4 is also securing the nice Be5 so taking the a5-pawn is out of the question for now.

I looked for a way to set up a Q+B battery on the a1-h8 diagonal to attack the kingside on the weak dark squares but could not make it work. I really needs a good plan now and did not succeed in finding one in the game.

White do you recommend for White?

Georgiev,Kir-Gara,A

After 28..Na4(Diagram)

White has more space but will cannot easily increase the pressure on the a-pawn. Black has the d-file for counterplay while the Na4 presses the c5-pawn.

What do you recommend for White?

Two MTK teams were in action at the Hungarian Chess Federation.

The MTK national team faced an opponent(DTSK?) fielding 7 GMs.

I was on MTK II

I contributed a win but I cannot say the game was well played.

Yip-Biro,G

Board 12

After 22..Rac8(Diagram)

White played aggressively, taking over the centre while Black unnecessarily weakening his castled position. However there were many mistakes in the game.

Black has just attack the Bc7.

What do you recommend for White?
