This morning I drew one of my games against Radek Svitil of the Czech Republic, which now leads the USA 17-16:
E12 Queen's Indian Defense
Nimzo-Hybrid Variation
1.d4 e6 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nf3 b6 4.Bg5 h6 5.Bxf6 Qxf6 6.e3 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Bxc3+ 8.bxc3 0-0 9.Bd3 Bb7 10.0-0 d6 11.Nd2 Qe7 12.Qc2 (N) c5 13.a4! Nc6 14.Nb3! e5 15.d5 Na5 16.Nxa5 bxa5 17.Rfb1 Ba6 18.Rb2 Rab8 19.Rab1 Rxb2 20.Rxb2 e4 21.Bxe4 Bxc4 22.Bh7+ Kh8 23.Qe4 Qxe4 24.Bxe4 Re8 25.Bf3 Ba6 26.h4 g5 27.Kh2 Kg7 28.hxg5 hxg5 29.Kh2 Kf6 30.Kg3 Re7 31.Rb8 Rb7 32.Rxb7 Bxb7 33.c4 Ke5 34.Bd1 Ba6 35.Bb3 f6 36.f3 Bc8 37.Bc2 Ba6 38.Bd3 Bc8 39.Kf2 Bd7 40.Bc2 Be8 41.Kg3 Bd7 42.Kf2 1/2-1/2
My opponent could have tried 42.f4!? gxf4+ 43.exf4+ Kd4 44.g5 fxg5 45.fxg5 Kxc4 46.g6 Kxd5 47.g7 Be6 48.Bh7 and, after 48...Kc4, held via 49.Kf4! Kb4 50.Kg5 c4! 51.Kf6 Bd5 52.Ke7 Kxa4 53.Kxd6 Bf7 54.Be4 c3 55.Bd5 Bxd5 56.Kxd5 c2 57.g8Q, etc.
Full notes will follow.
The remaining game is looking good, however:
