Board 1 Time Control: 40/80+15/30... B41 Sicilian Defense Kan Variation (by transposition - 7.e4) 1.Nf3 c5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 a6 6.a3!? (?! HIARCS 14's opening book) 6.e4 ∆Bb4 7.Qd3 Holub - Barta : Prague 1955 6.g3!? Qc7 7.Bg2 Qxc4 8.Bf4 (Friedman - Bodisko & Friedman - Charmov : correspondence 1975) does not impress. 6...b6 6...d5 7.cxd5 Nxd5 Holm - Sznapik : Nordic Team Tournament, Oslo 1983 7.e4
This is the 3rd time in 10 days that I've transposed from the Symmetrical English to an Open Sicilian. 7...Qc7 7...Bb7!? Skreno - Likavsky : Ilichevsk 2002 ∆8.e5N Ng8! was an option. ≤8...Ne4?! 9.Nxe4 Bxe4 10.Qg4 8.Be2 8.Be3! Bb7 9.f3 ∆d5?? 10.cxd5 exd5 11.Rc1 (Barrio - Hernansanz : Eibar 2013) is precise. 8...Bb7 9.Qd3 9.f3 ∆d5? As in the previous note, this "freeing" move is mistaken. 10.cxd5 exd5 Ernst - M. Carlsson : Swedish Championship, Gavle 1982 11.Bg5± (TN) was a good, more solid alternative. 9...d6 /\ ...Nbd7 + either 11... Ne5 or 11...Nc5. So, White has to find a way to prevent &/or neutralize both. 10.f4 Nbd7 11.Nb3 11.b4 Queimadelos - S. Kovacevic : Pedrido 2004 but I was worried about weakening c4. 11...Be7 12.Be3 0-0 13.0-0
These Hedgehog positions are very demanding & not my cup of tea but I didn't think a draw-offer was in order. 13...Rac8N 13...Rfd8 14.Rad1 Rab8 15.Kh1 Bc6 16.Nd2 Nc5 17.Qc2 was played in Jacobsen - Nogues : London 1927. 14.a4 14.Rad1 14...Qb8 15.a5 Nc5 16.Nxc5 bxc5 17.Bf3 Bc6 18.g4 /\ 19.g5, dislodging the Nf6 & relieving some of the pressure against e4. h6 We've played well to this point but have used an inordinate amount of time - 42:24 for me, 49:50 for my foe. Of course 18...Qxb2?? loses to 19.Rfb1 19.Rfd1?! Indecisive. A full K-side commitment with 19.h4 would've maintained the balance. 19...Nh7 Now Black is better. Daniel Girsh's 19...Nd7 was a good alternative: 20.Qe2 Rfd8 ≤20...g5?! 21.Rf1= 21.Qf2 Bf6 21...g5?! 22.Rf1= 22.h4 Bxc3 23.bxc3 Nf6 24.Qg2 Qa8 25.g5 hxg5 26.hxg5 Nxe4 20.Qe2? 20.Rab1 20...f5? 20...Rfd8 21.exf5 Bxf3 22.Qxf3 exf5 23.Nd5 Bf6? 23...Rce8= 24.Nb6?
24.g5± 24...fxg4?? 24...Rce8= 25.Qd5++- Kh8 26.Nxc8 Rxc8 27.Qxd6 Qxb2 28.Qxa6 Re8? 28...Rg8 29.Rab1? Much 29.Qb5! Rxe3 ≤29...Qxb5 30.cxb5 Bxa1 31.Rxa1 Rxe3 32.a6 30.Qxb2 Bxb2 31.Rd8+ Nf8 32.Rxf8+ Kh7 33.Ra2 Bd4 34.Kf1 29...Qe2?! 29...Qa3 30.Bf2 Bd4 31.Bxd4 cxd4 30.Re1 Qd3
30...Qf3 31.Bxc5 was little or no better. 31.Bf2?! This covers g3 but 31.Bxc5 Rxe1+ 32.Rxe1 Bd4+ 33.Bxd4 Qxd4+ 34.Kh1 31...Rf8 32.Qe6 32.Qc6 Qxc4 33.Qd6 /\ Rb8 32...Bd4 33.Bxd4 Qxd4+ 34.Kh1?! 34.Qe3! Qxc4 35.Ra1 34...Qf2? 34...Qc3 35.Qxg4 Nf6 36.Qg2 Qxa5 35.Qxg4 Rxf4 35...Nf6 36.Qg2 Qxf4 36.Qg3 Qd4 37.Rg1?! 37.a6 ∆Qxc4 38.Rb8+ Rf8 ≤38...Nf8 39.a7 39.a7 37...Ng5 38.Rbd1??
38.a6+- 38...Qe4+? 38...Ne4! 39.Rxd4 Nxg3+ 40.hxg3 Rxd4 41.a6 Rd7± 39.Qg2 Qxc4 40.Qd5? 40.Qb7+- 40...Qxd5+? 40...Qa6± 41.Rxd5+- Nh3? 41...Ra4 42.Rxc5 Ne4 & White has to show technique. 42.Ra1 Now, the win is easy. Rg4 Threat: 43...Nf2 mate. 43.Rd2 Defending. c4 44.a6 c3 45.Rc2 Black resigns. Time left - Moldovan 28:08 (for 10 moves), Ahuja 27:00 (for 11) Time used - Moldovan 81:52, Ahuja 83:00 Longest thinks: White - 8:48 for 9.Qd3, Black - 12:12 for 17...Bc6 Game length - 2:44:52 After 45.Rc2 Kh7 /\ 46.Rxc3?? Nf2 mate 45...Rc4 46.a7 Rc8 46...Nf2+ 47.Rxf2 c2 48.a8Q+ Kh7 49.Rxc2 Rxc2 50.Qe4+ Kg8 51.Qxc2+- -> 47.Rxc3! or simply 47.a8Q Rxa8 48.Rxa8+ Kh7 49.Rxc3+- 47...Rxc3 48.a8Q+ Kh7 49.Qe4++- -> Kg8 49...g6 50.Qe7+ Kg8 or 50...Kh8 etc. 51.Ra8+ Rc8 52.Rxc8# 49...Kh8 50.Ra8+ Rc8 51.Rxc8# 50.Qe6+ Kh8 50...Kf8 51.Ra8+ Rc8 52.Rxc8# 51.Ra8+ Rc8 51...Kh7 52.Qf5+ g6 53.Qf7# 52.Rxc8+ Kh7 53.Qe4+ g6 54.Qe7# 45...Rf4 46.a7 Nf2+ 47.Rxf2 Rxf2 48.a8Q++- -> 45...Rg5 46.a7 Kh7 47.a8Q+- 46.a7 a8Q follows. 1–0

Board 1 G/55+5 (delay) B54 Sicilian Defense (by transposition - 6.e4) 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.Nc3 4.d5 exd5 4...b5 is Blumenfeld's Gambit 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nc3 gives Black fewer options & is probably best but I'd rather have an English or Sicilian than test his Modern Benoni. 4...cxd4 4...d5 & a Tarrasch QGD is another way to play. 5.Nxd4 d6 5...d5 as in my 2009 draw vs. Mangion 5...Nc6 as in my 2010 loss to Sherry 5...Bb4 & 5...a6 6.e4 a6 For 6...Nc6 see my 2015 GSCL win over Minkov. For 6...Nbd7 see my round 12 win over Dovydaitis. 7.Be3 Be7 8.Be2 0-0 9.0-0
9...Nc6 For 9...Nbd7 see our 2009 Kenilworth Championship game. 10.Qd2 Bd7 11.Rad1 11.Rfd1 , /\ Rac1 (anticipating ...Qc7) + Bf1 & Qf2, was a good alternative. For example: Rc8 12.Nxc6 Bxc6 13.f3 Qc7 14.Bf1 b6 15.Rac1 Qb8 16.b4 Rfd8 17.Qf2 Nd7 18.Rb1 Bf6 19.Bd4 b5 20.cxb5 axb5 21.a4 bxa4 22.b5 Bxd4 23.Qxd4 Bb7 24.Nxa4 d5 25.exd5 Bxd5 26.Qe3 Qd6 27.Rbc1 ½-½ Zaichik - Yudasin : Atlantic Open, Washington 2002 11...Qc7 12.Nxc6N 12.f4 12.f3 & 12.Rc1 Kernighan (Yeritsyan - V. Stefansson : Prague 2016, by transposition) ∆Ne5 13.h3! Nxc4? 14.Bxc4 Qxc4 15.Nd5 exd5 16.Rxc4 dxc4 17.f3± 12...Bxc6 13.f3 Rfd8 14.Bd3 14.Bd4 14...d5 15.exd5 exd5 16.Qf2?
16.cxd5 Bxd5 16...Nxd5? 17.Bxh7+! 17.Qf2= 16...dxc4? 16...d4! 17.Bxd4 Rxd4! 18.Qxd4 Bxf3! 19.Qh4 Kernighan Qc5+ 20.Kh1 Bxd1 21.Rxd1 ≤21.Rxf6 g6 22.Nd5 Bxf6 23.Qxf6 Re8 24.Qc3 Re6 25.Nf6+ Rxf6 26.Qxf6 Ba4 21...g6 17.Bxc4 Qe5 Of course, if 17...Bxf3 then 18.Bxf7+ Kxf7 19.Qxf3 18.Rfe1 Rxd1 19.Rxd1 Bd6 20.g3 Qe7 21.Nd5 Nxd5 22.Bxd5 Bxd5 23.Rxd5 Qe6 24.Qd2 Bc7 25.Kg2 25.Rd7 right away. 25...Re8
26.Rd7? Now this is big mistake. 26.Bf2 ∆Qe2?! 27.Qb4 or 27.Qxe2 Rxe2 28.Rc5= Bb6?? 29.Rc8+ Bd8 30.Rxd8+ Re8 31.Rxe8# 26...Bb6? We missed 26...Ba5 27.Qd5 Qxd5 27...Qxe3?? 28.Qxf7+ Kh8 29.Qxg7# 28.Rxd5 Rxe3 29.Rxa5 Re2+ 30.Kh3 Rxb2 winning a P 31.g4 Rb6 27.Bxb6 Qxb6 28.Rd6 Qb5 29.Rd8 g6 30.Rxe8+ Qxe8 31.Kf2 Qe6 32.Qd8+ Kg7 33.Qd4+ Kg8 33...f6 34.Qb4 b5 was playable but ≤33...Kh6? 34.Qe3+ Kg7 35.Qxe6 fxe6 36.Ke3 Kf6 37.Ke4 e5 38.Kd5 Kf5 39.h4 & 33...Qf6?? 34.Ke3+- 34.Qd8+ Kg7 35.Qd4+ Kg8 White offers a draw. Black accepts. Game drawn by agreement. Time left - Moldovan 5:20, Kernighan 2:02 Estimated time used - Moldovan 52:35, Kernighan 55:53 Longest thinks: White - 7 minutes for 20.g3, 6 minutes for 12.Nxc6 & 26.Rd7? Black - 10 minutes for 4..for .cxd4, 9 minutes for 16...dxc4? With the draw I clinched 1st place & free entry into the NJ Open but due to scheduling & traveling issues I'm not sure if I'll be able to play. 35...Kg8 36.Qd8+ is a 3-fold repetition. ½–½

Board 1.1 G/55+5 (delay) B54 Sicilian Defense 1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 d6 This leads to an inferior Sicilian. I expected 3...d5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.d4 & a Tarrasch QGD. 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 Nf6 6.e4 Nbd7 7.Be3 a6 8.Be2 Nc5 This is premature. Completing the Hedgehog setup with 8...b6 9.0-0 Bb7 , etc., was best. 9.f3 Be7 10.0-0 10.Qc2± 10...0-0 11.Qd2
11...b6?? This weakens c6, loses a P & the game. 11...Qc7 12.b4 Ncd7 Pyatkova - Abdrakmanova : Obninsk 2007. 12.b4N ≤12.Nc6 Qc7 13.Nxe7+ Qxe7 14.b4 Ncd7 15.a3 Kokeny - Bakos : Celldoemoelk 2011. 12...Ncd7 12...Nb7 13.Nc6 Qc7 14.Nxe7+ Qxe7 15.Bxb6 Bd7 13.Nc6 Qe8 14.Rfd1 Ne5? 14...d5 15.e5 Nxe5 16.Nxe5 Bxb4 17.Bxb6 dxc4 18.a3 Be7 19.Bxc4 Bb7 15.Nxe7+ Qxe7 16.Qxd6 Qxd6 17.Rxd6 Ned7 17...Ne8 18.Rd2 Rb8 18.Rad1 Rd8?

#1 of 2 simultaneous games Board 1 G/55+5 (delay) A04 Bird's Opening 1.e3 c5 2.f4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf6 3...g6 preventing the game's b3, is a good alternative. 4.b3 e6 5.Bb2 Bd6!?
