Budapest Open 2013 Rd3

Zoldy, and Erdos share first with the only perfect scores. A large group follows with 2.5/3. Zoldy continued his incredible upset streak with another win over Kormos,Adam.

Zoldy is also the organizer of the Frech Karolyi Open and RR events held in June.

Here's my game with IM Szalancy,E.

Yip,M (2026) - Szalanczy,E (2285)
Benoni 7.Nge2[A65]
Budapest Open(3), 19.08.2013

I tried a new anti-Benoni system with the d5-e4-f3 central pawn chain which gave a good position after some risky play by black.

Position 1
I played 19.Nfe4 taking the center and aiming at the hole on g5 but 19.Ra4! was better and the h-pawn falls.

18..Bxf5

Results
Zoldy continued his incredible upset streak with another win over Kormos,Adam. IM Meszaros used a London System and a queenside attack to win against the veteran Lakat. Heyl's Sicilian Kan was broken with an exchange sacrifice.

Frech Károly 2013-06 Rd8

Here is my rd8 game.

I was getting crushed by Stern,T(black) who moved in for the kill with 32...Bh2, threatening ..Bg3#.

White to Play

32...Bh2

In the analysis with Stern and Varga,A(who I play in rd9), I showed what I missed-33.Re8+! Kg7 34.Rg8+ Kxg8 35.Qe8+ Kg7 36.Bh6+!! Kh6(or 36...Kf6 37.Qd8#) 37.Qf8#.

Too bad. Now my tactics have improved to the point where I can see things a bit too late.
