Comment
Usually I try to put games into posts but even such mundane posts as entry lists are getting alot of views. The posts featuring theory remain unpopular even though I work quite hard on them. The conclusion must sadly be less theory and more games with bios/pics.

Overall
Every Tuesday is a TWIC day so there will be a fresh batch of news to report on tomorrow.

Xu,Haizhou - Sambuev,Bator
French Winawer Armenian Variation[C18]
Guelph Fall Pro-Am (4), 04.11.2012

Critical Position 1
The position is complicated. Black's king is safe for now hiding in front of white's b-pawn. But what about white's king? Is white attacking for defending? How do you play?

Hoogovens Wijk aan Zee (5), 01.1978

Timman in 1992 Chessbase

'Timman was an outstanding prospect in his early teens, and at Jerusalem 1967 played in the World Junior Championship, aged fifteen, finishing third. He received the International Master title in 1971, and in 1974 attained Grandmaster status, making him the Netherlands' third after Max Euwe and Jan Hein Donner. In the same year he won the Dutch Championship for the first time, having finished second in 1972. He was to win it again on many more occasions through 1996. His first notable international success was at Hastings 1973/74, where he shared victory with Tal, Kuzmin, and Szabó.[3] A string of victories quickly followed at Sombor 1974 (with Boris Gulko), Netanya 1975, Reykjavik 1976 (with Fridrik Olafsson), Amsterdam IBM 1978, Nikšić 1978,[4] and Bled/Portorož 1979.'-Wikipedia-Jan Timman

Critical Position 1
The center is open but white is down a pawn. What should white do?

White to play

Critical Position 2
Black's pieces look congested. Is there a way to exploit this?
