Daily Calculation exercises - Day 10 | Victory in the Rossolimo Sicilian
I bring you 10 exercises which I created from the game I played in the 1st round of the International Master Tournament in Budapest. The opponent was an Indian talent Kshatriya, Nitin Vekhande.
He just pushed the d-pawn. What should I do?
How Can black win?
Black has a big material advantage. What is a simple way to win?
How to recapture on c3?
How can black win material?
How can black increase the advantage?

I wish you enjoyed the exercises. Please use the patterns in your games!

He played the Bb5 Rossolimo variation of the Sicilian defense. I used the Chessmood RossoIimo course to get a good position of the opening and understand the middlegame plans. I decided to play on the dark squares by developing the bishop to g7. I got the pair of bishops and double d-pawns in the middlegame. After he weakened the c3 square I was able to increase the pressure until he allowed me a combination to win the exchange and win the game in the endgame:

I went to run in the morning to have a fresh mind.
In the morning I had a coaching session with a student we met long time ago, like 8-9 years.
He wants to improve in blitz games.
I think the 2 most important things you can do to improve your blitz are:
1.Solve daily puzzles to speed up and to use your winning chance
2.Study your openings with plans to save time.
I was the coach of the month and you can read an interview about it at https://www.chess.com/article/view/coach-of-the-month-im-attila-turzo
I am available for chess lessons.
If you would like to study with me please send me an email to attilaturzo@gmail.com where you write about your chess history and chess goals.
See you tomorrow!
