The Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz is the 4th stage of the 2019 Grand Chess Tour. The 10-player tournament takes place in the St. Louis Chess Club from 10-14 August. The prize fund is $150,000, with $37,500 for 1st place. 7 tour regulars, including World Champion Magnus Carlsen, are joined by wildcards Leinier Dominguez, Yu Yangyi and Richard Rapport.
The rapid section on the first 3 days is a single round-robin with a time control of 25 minutes for all moves and a 10-second delay from move 1. The final 2 days are a blitz double round-robin, with 18 rounds of 5+3 blitz. Rapid games count double, with 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. A 2-player tie for first will be decided by a 2-game rapid mini-match (10+5) and, if necessary, an Armageddon game (5 vs. 4). Official website: grandchesstour.org

#Suggestion From the 69th ch-RUS 2019 Women's tournament, there is the nice attacking miniature (28 moves) Shuvalova-Girya from round 3. From the same round Charochkina-Kashlinskaya has a very nice exchange sac combo (from move 37) by black that wins white's queen. In round 4 Girya strikes against #2 seed Kosteniuk with a powerful pawn center leading to a passed pawn. An excellent display of "passed pawns must be pushed" and how to do it, tying up your opponent in the process. Also Rd 4 Kashlinskaya-Tomilova becomes another passed pawn battle. All worth checking out but Shuvalova-Girya is perhaps the most exciting, especially with Girya currently leading the tournament! Keep up the great work.

#Suggestion Check out the game Moltylev-Inarkiev, 72nd ch-RUS 2019, round 1. A great back-and-forth attacking game. There is also the very interesting positional struggle Alekseenko-Artimiev from round 3 where it ends up being a rook ending with black a pawn up. You think, well this is a draw. Then Artemiev shows a clever way to breakthrough and win the game. Predke-Inarkiev from the same round has a race between black's kingside attack vs white's queenside passed pawn. In this case the passed pawn wins.

@karim1485 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, there is a tactic (don't know if Levon saw why Bc3 is losing) it would have been followed by Nc5. Now, you still can't castle, and if you play any slow move, Ke4 comes with a double attack on white's Queen and bishop, though the bishop is only protected once, so you would lose a piece. I mean, if you want to cover the e4 square with Ng5, you just get h6, forcing Nh3 which is just terrible Then, last option if you move the bishop, you can either play Ba5, then white continues with his previous plan of Ne4 attacking the queen, and whereever you play your queen to, Rc8 is coming, threatening nasty things on the first row. Bb2 would be your only option, then comes Nd3+ which is just nasty really...

At 06:13 where you propose the Qxb2 line, surely this is immediately winning for black? So, after Qxb2 you go on to say white will play Rb1, then picking up the knight on b6 after the black queen moves. BUT, this doesn't work for white as it leaves him open to a back rank mate. For example, if black plays Qe2 after Rb1, white can't play Rxb6. Am I missing something...? EDIT After Qe2, white doesn't play Rxb6, but Ng5. I haven't calculated all the variations, but it looks like white should at least draw e.g. Ng5 Ra8, Qxh7+ Kf8, Qf5 etc.

Is there some opening for white similar to tigers modern defense?

The commentator would also scream that GMs can miss a mate, Grischuk is the one that failed to notice it against Anand in one of the games. Google it. ;)
