Aberystwyth Chess Club is taking a break over Christmas and will resume on Tuesday 8 January. The last meeting of the year was a quiet one. Ian Finlay bounced back from his narrow defeat in the town versus gown match, winning a close game in the club championship when Dan Hardman's slip allowed him to break through in the centre with a mating attack. I lost a friendly game against Rudy, missing a chance to draw in the rook and pawn ending, which was not easy to see after being positionally strangled for 90-odd moves.

several more games 12.Be4 Qd7 12.Be3 a bit passive, blocking the
important e file , where the Wh pieces need to be as compensation for the
isolated pawn.There is no real threat to the d pawn anyway 12.Bf4 endorsed

Muse-Kiselev, Berliner Sommer 1994,1/2-1/2 12...Nc6 13.Ne5 Bd6 a slight
error that Wh could have seized upon 13...Rc8 14.a3 f5 15.Nxc6 Rxc6 16.Qd2 Rf6 17.Rac1 Rg6 18.Bf1 Bd6 19.g3= Komodo12 14.Qh5 14.Nxc6 Bxc6 15.Bxh7+ Kxh7 16.Qc2+ Kg8 17.Qxc6 its not the pawn so much as the
slight weakening of Bl's K position. Though Wh is left with an inferior B 14...f5 gains space on the K side, but leaves e6 potentially weak 14...g6 15.Nxc6 Bxc6 16.Qh6 Qf6= 15.Bg5 15.Nxc6 Komodo112 Bxc6 16.Bc4 16.Bg5 Qd7 17.Bc4 Be4= 16...Qe8 17.Qxe8 Rfxe8 18.Rac1 Kf7= both sides

humans would go down this track, even though the B on d5 is very powerful 16.Qh3 16.Qh4 guards the d pawn, but Nb4 17.a3 17.Bb1 Rc8 18.a3 Nc2 19.Bxc2 Rxc2 17...Nxd3 18.Nxd3 Qg6 19.f3 Rac8 19...Bxf3 20.gxf3 h6 21.f4 hxg5 22.Qxg5 Qxg5+ 23.fxg5 Kf7= 16.Qxe8 Komodo12 Rfxe8 17.Bb5 Bxe5 18.dxe5 h6 19.Bf4= 16...Nxd4 Wh retains attacking chances,
but Bl's centre should hold firm & be an advantage in an endgame 17.Nc4 Be7 17...Bb4 Komodo12 18.Red1 e5 looks good, but the centre is in danger of
overextending 19.a3 Bc5 19...Be7 20.Be3 e4 21.Bf1 Nc2 22.Rxd5 Nxa1 23.Bf4= Wh has lost an exchange, but has very active pieces Rd8 24.Rxd8 24.Rxf5 Rxf5 25.Qxf5 Qg6 26.Qe5 Qf6 26...Bf6 27.Qb5 looks better Nc2 27.Qxe4 Rd4 28.Qa8+ Qf8 29.Qxf8+ Kxf8 30.Bb8 Rd7 24...Qxd8 25.Ne5 Qd1 humans would be worried about this possibility 26.Qc3 g5 27.Nc6 Bf6 28.Be5 and only now does Komodo12 decide that the whole variation is unsound &
not drawn! Nb3!-+ 29.Qc4+ Kg7 30.Qe6 Nd2 31.Bxf6+ Rxf6 32.Qe7+ Kg8 33.Qd8+ Rf8 34.Qd5+ Kg7 35.Qb5 Qxf1+ 36.Qxf1 Nxf1 37.Kxf1 Rc8-+ 20.b4 Qe6 21.Ne3 Bd6 22.Nxd5 Qxd5 23.Bxf5 17...Qg6 18.Qe3 Bc7 19.Qxd4 Qxg5 20.Ne3 Bb7 21.Qd7 Qf4 22.Qxe6+ Kh8 23.Nf1 Rad8 Komodo12- relying on
Bl piece activity & the 2 powerful Bs 18.Bf4 Nc6 retreating a wellplaced N.
If control over e5 was wanted then 18...Bf6 seems better 19.Re3 19.Ne3 eliminates the pesky B Nb4 20.Nxd5 Nxd5 21.Be5 Rd8 but replaces it
with a N 19...Rf6 Bl defends against the R attack, but the Wh pices are a
little tangled at the moment, so 19...Nb4 20.Ne5 20.Nd6 Qd7-+ 20...Bf6 21.a3 Nxd3 22.Rxd3 Rd8 23.Re1 Qe7 Komodo12 20.Rae1 20.Rg3 20...Rg6 21.Rg3 Rxg3 22.Qxg3 Qf8 22...Qg6 23.b3 Bc5 23...Nb4 24.Bb1 Rd8 25.h4 Na6 26.Ne5 Bf6 27.Bg5 Nc5 Komodo12 24.Ne3 Bxe3 25.Bxe3 25.Qxe3 25...Qb4 25...e5 again a pawn advance seems called
