GM Antoaneta Stefanova Simuls in Singapore

In http://www.intchessasia.com/site/index.htm GM Antoaneta Stefanova of Bulgaria will be doing simuls in Singapore at 23rd April. Unlucky for me it is on Thurdays and is a working day for me. Singapore chess buzz is really good this day with 3-4 one day tournament being held this year. In fact there will be two one day chess events going on this month.

The only complain is there is little information on chess report in Singapore. So let's hope there will be more story on Stefanova's visit.

Surreal Sicilian in Serbia

Another new chess blog from me is SURREAL SICILIAN. Like my Shredder Chess Move, this is going to be a fun chess games played in sicilian defence AND win by Black in less than 30 moves. So this is pretty much an overview about sicilian opening that favour black. I am doing this because I am playing sicilian in black for almost 10 years and seeing black crushing white with sicilian is a great pleasure. I will put simple commentary (can't called it annotation ...) on what I can think about it.

Serbia Individual Championship started from 2nd to 15th April 2009, the last round is 10th, and here a miniature game that fall to my new article. Here the first edition of Surreal Sicilian, a win by GM Boban Bogosavljevic (2526) over Serbian junior champion Ivan Sarenac (2320). The diagram will be flipped and we will enjoy this game in black point of view.

The bahasa indonesian commentary in blue.

Sarenac, Ivan 2320 0 - 1 GM Bogosavljevic, Boban 2526

Round 10, Serbia Individual Championship 2009,B61

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Bg5 Bd7 7. Qd2 Rc8 8.f4

a Richter-Rauzer, Larsen variation (B61) played here.

...Nxd4 9.Qxd4 Qa5 10. e5 Ng4

in Lahno (2439) vs. Andreev (2490), Kramatorsk 2003 black immediately play 10...dxe5 ,which black lost in 28 moves.

Partai lain (dituliskan di atas) memainkan 10..dxe5 hitam langsung tukaran bidak, berakhir dengan kekalahan hitam di langkah ke 28.

11. exd6 f6 while attacking black is also open up a square for future king evacuation, if needed.

sambil menyerang hitam membuka petak buat pelarian rajanya, kalo diperlukan.

12. dxe7? Bxe7 13. O-O-O

white is one pawn ahead but a hanging bishop on g5. the long castling with rook immediately come to attacking looks over optimistic. The problem should be a queen standing on a5 waiting for white's knight to be eliminated and launch a sneak attack.

putih yang unggul satu bidak tapi gajahnya dalam kondisi terancum melakukan blokade panjang agar benteng nya langsung ikut menyerang ke petak d7. tapi masalahnya ratu hitam yang bertengger di a5 siap menunggu kuda putih untuk dilengserkan dan melakukan serangan balik.

..Be6 14. Bb5+ Kf7 15. Bd7 Bxd7 16. Qxd7 Rxc3!

sacrifice a rook for an important knight. now suddenly black has serious counter attack.

hitam mengorbankan benteng dan melengserkan kuda yang penting. serangan balik yang cukup serius dari hitam.

17. bxc3 Qxc3 18. Rhe1 Ne3 19. Rxe3 Qxe3+ 0-1

black resign because losing a piece and ..Rd8 ready to force an exchange that favour black.

hitam menyerah karena gajahnya siap melayang, selain itu benteng hitam menuju d8 memaksa tukaran yang menguntungkan hitam.

Shredding Chess Move - Russian Team Championship 2009

In metalhead dictionary shredding is an orgasmatic way to exploit your guitar by playing 1000 notes per minute. The goal is simple to have an ultimate pleasure in playing guitar, and for listener an ultimate way to headbanging your head. Waiit, what relation here with chess? Well, by using this new term, I would like to introduce my new chess blog article. This game will included in my 1.d4 opening blog label, selected games because of its quick win via 1.d4, I used to called it a Shredding Chess Move! \m/.

Ok, here is my first SCM, a game by Dmitry Andreikin vs Maksim Serov. This is part of the 2009 Russian Team Championship held in Dagomys (please search in wiki yourself for enlightened where on earth it is) and round is nine. Andreikin belong to Economist-SGSEU - 1 team with 2625 rating and Serov is from M.Chigorin CC with 2340 rating.

My amateur commentary of the game also in Indonesian language.

Andreikin,D vs Serov,M - Rus Team Champ 2009 - Dagomy

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d6 3.c4 Nbd7 4.Nc3 e5 5.Bg5

a strange way to open by black, I am not sure what name of this move order.

Pembukaan yang aneh oleh hitam, kurang yakin apa ada nama buat pembukaan ini.

..Be7 6.Qc2 O-O 7.e3 c6 8.Bd3 h69.Bh4 a6 10.O-O-O

with black slow in making any serious attack , white quickly setting up an attacking scheme on black king side.

hitam terlambat dalam menyusun ancaman serius buat putih. dengan cepat putih berhasil membangun rencana serangan di sisi raja hitam.

..Qc7 11.g4 b5 12.g5! black seems hopeless to halt the advancing of the g pawn since the white bishop is pinning the black's knight - hitam nggak bisa menahan perkembangan bidak g karna gajah putih yang men-pin kuda hitam ... hxg5 13.Nxg5 bxc4 14.Bxc4 d5 15.Bb3 Qb6

after everything ready for the shredding attack white launched his first forcing move. Can you spot how to continue?

semua siap untuk penyerangan putih, ayo apa langkah berikut nya??

16.Rhg1! Re8 17.Nxf7!! Kxf7

black move from here are less or more forced now.

langkah hitam dari sini sudah langkah terpaksa.

18.Qg6+ Ke6 19.Bxf6 Nxf6 because the rock is under attack also ... 20.dxe5 Kxe5

21.Nxd5! cxd522.Rxd5+ Ke6 23.Rb5+ 1-0

black resign because his queen is parting away from the game and the king is in the middle of enemy's men.
