MTK beat Pestzentimre 4-2

I struggled with White to eventually draw against Szoukup,I on board 2. It seems I forgot how to play chess

MTK finished 2nd overall and could have used another half point during the match,I

Yip-Szoukup,I

Board 2

After 16.Qe3(Diagram)

Things are not going well for White.

What do you recommend for Black?

After 16.Qe3

Much later in the game

After 70.Ke4(Diagram)

White was cruising to a draw, or so I thought.

What do you recommend for Black?

Today’s work included looking at my games from last tournament

Yip-Karacsonyi,G

Queen’s Gambit Declined

Art Pub Open rd4

After some adventures in the early part of the game, I built up a nice position. Then funny things started to happen before the game ended in an exiting draw.

Critical Position 1

After 23..Qf7(Diagram)

White is fully invested in a kingside attack.

What do you recommend for White?

After 23..Qf7

Critical Position 2

After 41.Qxb6(Diagram)

The position looks murky.

What do you recommend for Black?

After 41.Qxb6

 

Sulyok Eszter on the way to a nice rating gain

One more game to check after this.

Then a break!
