BTch 8-Board Amateur League 2015-16 Rd4

I contributed a quick win thanks to a gift in an equal position.

MTK played the Blind Institute on this chilly Monday evening. We played a man down and I don’t the final match score.

Vojan-Yip Board 2

After 18.g4(diagram)

Black has an extra piece and one may be excused for wondering what the problem could possibly be.

18.g4

I found the almost magical tactic of winning a pawn with 18..Bxf2?? when there a couple of ways to just keep the extra piece.

There is no real explanation.

Yip was just no good.

However, my opponent blundered a piece later to even the scales of Xmas justice and I won.

Ho Ho Ho

All MTK teams won today. I was promoted to board 1 at the last moment and contributed a draw for MTK IV in today’s action at the Hungarian Chess Federation site.

Even the Speed chocolate bar could not help me win the won position.

Board 1 Bolyai,I-Yip,M

After 22.Qh4(Diagram)

I won a pawn earlier due to a blunder but had to settle for a draw after a hard fight.

White has some potential counterplay based on the h7 weakness.

After 22.Qh4

I found the exchange sacrifice 22..Rxd3!? but 22..Ne4! was much stronger.

I contributed a loss today in a dramatic game while MTK got crushed today.

The best(well one of the) things about team play is the mini-ritual of each player receiving a candy bar before each round. Unfortunately I was not able to deliver a sugary sweet game to match the size of today’s treat.

Board 6 FM Gőrcsi,G-Yip,M

After 24.Qf2(diagram)

I got a reasonable position from the opening and really needed to find the right plan

After 24.Qf2

I should have played the thematic 24..b5! with sharp play but went for 24..d5 instead and lost after making a few more mistakes.
