9th Budapest Open 2019 Start Lists
There are quite a lot of visitors from Italy this year
Group A-Starting rank
Group B Starting rank
TWIC 1292 Grunfeld
It is a constant chore to find ideas to play against the Grunfeld so probably just keeping up is quite a task for Grunfelders as well
White did well this week
Here is my favorite game
Can-Sindarov
Grunfeld Exchange 7.Qa4+
26th Abu Dhabi Masters rd6
Position 1
After 20.Bf1(Diagram)
White has a passer but Black has the knight in an ideal blockade position
What do you recommend for Black?
Position 2
After 23..Qf5(Diagram)
Black has made some progress on the queenside while White is not making any progress with his blockaded passer
What do you recommend for White?
Position 3
After 28..Qf6(Diagram)
Black remains quite focused on maintaining the blockade and has created a couple of passers himself. The plan is push, push and push some more

Monster of the Day August 7-2019
I did the hanging pawns part of Chapter 1 this morning

Monster Planning Vol 1-Exercise 30
The solution did not answer all my questions and I made a change to the evaluation method/format to help myself a bit more when working with the book positions.
Vragoteris-Mourelatos
Queen’s Indian 4.e3
Thessaloniki 2017
After 17..Rfd8(Diagram)
The book offers three plans where you pick the best and get points for your selection. The exercise requirements have been modified here
(A) Make a systematic evaluation:
Consideration of the following should allow you to identify
(1)What is your worst piece?
(2)What are your opponent’s weaknesses?
(3)What is your opponent’s immediate threat? This could be a tactical blow or a strategic idea
.
The following can be considered(write N/A if not applicable)
King safety-
Structure(weaknesses)-
Minor piece matchup-
Lines(files/diagonals/ranks)-
Squares-outposts,weak squares, weak color complexes-
Worst piece-
Enemy ideas/threats-
Development differential-
Other-
***
(B)Do you know any classical games that could give you a hint?
***
(C)Preliminary Plan or Candidate moves-Make an intuitive guess
****
(D)List analyze and evaluate a maximum of three plans and make a recommendation.
Plan A:
Plan B:
Plan C:
(ONLY NOW check the Grivas options and the recommended solution)

My Solution: Exercise 30
Make a systematic evaluation:
Consideration of the following should allow you to identify
(1)What is your worst piece?
(2)What are your opponent’s weaknesses?
(3)What is your opponent’s immediate threat? This could be a tactical blow or a strategic idea
.
The following can be considered(write N/A if not applicable)
King safety-Both kings are safeStructure(weaknesses)-the a3-pawn is a counterplay target and the d4-pawn is under attack
Minor piece matchup-N/A The Bb7 seems passive as the Nc6 blocks the a8-h1 diagonal (as well as the c-file for the Rc8)
Lines(files/diagonals/ranks)-Black can use his rooks to press the hanging pawns but this does not seem like a major factor
Squares-outposts,weak squares, weak color complexes-Black has no structural weaknesses. The Qf4 could be vulnerable is some lines but seems to have enough room as ..Qh6 is always possible
Worst piece-There is congestion on the d-file making rook support of the d-pawn poor due to too many intervening pieces being on the file(Bd3/Nd2)
Enemy ideas/threats-Taking the d-pawn:
– ..Na5 to unmask the Bb7 and press c4. There might be ..Bxf3 ideas at some point.
-Another idea might be ..Nb8-d7 and if needed ..Nf8 to reinforce the kingside.
-..b5 sacrificing a pawn to gain the d5-outpost
Development differential-N/A
Other-The Qf4 is well placed, pressing the d-pawn and the kingside(especially Nf3 should Nc6 move to unmask Bb7). If White tries for a kingside attack, the queen can drop back to ..Qh6 to cover the queenside or sit on top of Kg1 with ..Qg4 for possible counterthreats
***
Do you know any classical games that could give you a hint?
There are many games with d4-d5 as a dynamic break but I cannot cite a precise game with ..Qf4
***
Preliminary Plan or Candidate moves-Make an intuitive guess
18.Qe3 slightly improving the queen to challenge the active Qf4. White should not be afraid of endings after ..Qxe3 as the d4 pawn would be reinforced.
***
List analyze and evaluate a maximum of three plans and make a recommendation.
Plan A: 18.Qe3
Plan B: 18.Nf1 intending Ng3 or Ne3 to unblock the d-file
Plan C: 18.d4-d5 seem unlikely to work as ..Qh6 is possible but is concrete and should be checked
If there is enough time 18.a4 to stop ..b5 ideas can be considered but this idea would be better served with a rook on a1
I recommend Plan A but my analysis overall was not so great

Backward Pawns
Exercise 19 features a well known Botvinnik game
Botvinnik-Sorokin
Queens Gambit
Moscow 1931
After 19..e5(Diagram)
First evaluate the position:
Mine was
“King safety-(I forgot to write something but this did not seem to be an issue)
Structure(weaknesses)-none really
Minor piece matchup-N/A
Lines(files/diagonals/ranks)-The d-file is key but White cannot immediately infiltrate
Squares-outposts,weak squares, weak color complexes-The central outpost d5 is key but is adequately defended. Consider a4-a5 to drive off Nb6 but for now this is not possible
Worst piece-N/A but the Qc5 is Black’s best piece
Enemy ideas/threats-nothing serious, only to complete development with ..Bd7-c6 or ..Bg4xNxf3 to relieve the pressure on e5
Activity-White is fully developed and is more active but for now cannot make immediate progress as there are no obvious weaknesses to attack
Development differential-Black is three tempii behind in development
Other-The Qc5 is quite active and controls key queenside dark squares and prevents the desirable a4-a5 space grab which whould drive back the Nb6 and fix the queenside pawns on light squares. The queen also has the uneconomic burden of defending the e5-pawn.”
I forgot to make a conclusion-White should act quickly otherwise Black will catch up in development and likely trade rooks to relieve the pressure
I prefer a more systematic way of evaluating a position before coming up with a plan. I had a mini-checklist in mind but then I forgot to complete my thoughts
Grivas presents his shorter evaluation in simple paragraph form with no clear checklist
Second recommend a plan.
Grivas lets you choose from Plan A,B and C but before peeking, come up with your own plan and justification. The Monster method gives you 50 points for the best plan and less for the others
The solution suggests itself in about 2 seconds as the game is well known and repeated in many books, however, when I checked the game there were some details which I had not considered previously or when I thought of the plan
The Grivas Method covers the Botvinnik-Sorokin game on page 47. Oddly enough, The Grivas Method does not discuss pawn structure much except for Backward Pawns(p13)
