2nd ASEAN Masters Round 7, 30.12.2011

 Annotated by Centaur (Hairulov + Houdini)

1. e4 c6 2. c4 Yee Weng   avoid  mainline theory  which is  a wise decision against a much stronger opponent.   

2...e5 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 Bg4 5. dxe5 Bxf3 6. gxf3 dxe5 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8

Although white has a double f-pawns but he will have no problem to get rid of it  by pushing f4 later and exchange it with black's e pawn. On the other hand,  his  double bishop will be a permanent advantage.

Fadzil Nayan - Abel Yap : 1-0

The two leaders of the 2011 Asian Amateur meet in round 6 and Fadzil managed to emerged as the winner after his opponent  blunder big time on move 35.

Ahmad Fadzil Nayan (2009) - Abel Yap Jinwei (2060) 
Asian Amatuer, Round 6, 28.11.2011

Analyzed by Centaur (Hairulov + Houdini)

1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 e6 5. g3 Nbd7 6. Qd3 Be7 7. Bg2 O-O 8. O-O b6 9. e4 dxe4 10. Nxe4 Bb7 11. Bf4 Nxe4 12. Qxe4 Nf6 

13. Qc2 Theory suggest 13. Qe2.  

13... c5 14. Rad1 Qc8 Now the drawback of playing 13.Qc2 is clear. After black play cxd4, he will continue to pressure white's queen on c2 with b5.  

15. Qe2 cxd4 16. Nxd4 Bxg2 17. Kxg2 Rd8 18. b3 Bc5 19. Nb5 a6 20. Nc3 Bd4 21. Be5 Qc6+ 22. f3 Bxe5 23. Qxe5 h6 24. Rd4 Rxd4 25. Qxd4 Ra7 26. Qd8+ Kh7 27. Rd1 Rd7 28. Rxd7 Nxd7 29. Qh4 f5 30. Qd4 Nf6 31. h3 Nd7 32. b4 g5 33. a4 Kg6 34. g4 The game is quite balance so far but Abel mistakenly decide to push the h-pawn with....

34...h5? 34... Nf6 is a viable option   

35. gxh5+ Kxh5?? Mistakes come in pairs. Abel should have realized his previous mistake and continue to play with a pawn down with 35...Kh7, instead he choose to take the pawn.

36. Qg7 Believe it or not but white is  threatening mate in 1 with 37.Qh7++ checkmate.  

36...g4 37. hxg4+ fxg4 38. Ne4 gxf3+ 39. Kxf3 1-0 Black resign because he have to give big materials to avoid being mate instantly for e.g. 39...Ne5+ 40. Qxe5+ Kg6 White is simply a piece up and Houdini gave a force mate in 24...whatsoever :)

Dubios move by Harry Porter ?!

I spend my Sunday evening  in my home, watching  Harry Porters and the Philosophers Stone Wizard's  .... and of course... i pay attention more during  the chess scene. 

In the scene, Harry, Ron, and Hermione play their way across a chessboard to pass the White players in a giant-scaled and dangerous game of Wizard Chess. Wizard chess is the magical variant of the classic board game in which the pieces move of their own accord when commanded by the player. When a piece is taken (destroy!), it is removed by the attacking piece.

 I was curios to know the exact position and the moves. I google the scene on the net and found that  the chess position  was created by American IM - Jeremy Silman . 

Black to move

* Harry is a black bishop (on a3) . Hermione is a black's rook. Ron is a black's Knight ( on g5).

WFM Nur Najiha Azman Hisham

May Hsu Lwin (2112) - Nur Najiha Azman Hisham (1867)
SEAGAMES (Mix Pair), Round 6 , 16.11.2011

Analyzed by Centaur (Hairulov + Houdini)

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 Be7 5. e3 O-O 6. Bd3 b6 7. O-O Bb7 8. cxd5 Nxd5 9. e4 Nxc3 10. bxc3 c5 11. Be3 Nd7 Theory gave 11... cxd4 12. cxd4 Nc6 13. Rc1 Ba3 14. Rc3 Bb4 15. Rc4 Be7   

12. Qe2 Creating a potential passed pawn with 12. d5!? exd5 13. exd5 is probably stronger because white looks better if black  take the d5 pawn 13...Bxd5?! 14. Bxh7+ Kxh7 15. Qxd5  

12... Qc7 13. Rac1 Rfd8 14. Ng5 h6 15. Nh3 Bf8 16. e5 Qc6 Black has a mate threat - Qxg2++ mate  

17. Qg4? An oversight. White forfeits the advantage 17. Nf4 Is the correct move.
