I won my last two games to finish with 4.5/6 but I could not recover from my rd1 loss and my rd2 pairing was with an unrated players that was the end of my tournament effectively.

Here is my Rd6 game.
Warning!!-Horrible blunders(I gave away a rook then my opponent drops his queen back to me).

Yip,M (2075) - Fabian,C (1867)
Semi-Slav[D46]
Kobanya Open (6), 16.12.2012

Position 1
Black's position looks suspicious. Qh6 is out of play, the dark squares are soft and overall black is passive. What should white do?

• Build slowly?
• Exploit Qh6
• Press the queenside?
• Something else?

White to Play

22...Ng7

Position 2

Black has just attacked the knight. What should white do?

White to Play

24...f6

Position 3

The position has turned sharp as black has just made the central break 29...e5. What should white do?

White to Play

29...e5
