In round 6 I played wit the winner of the last Master tourney FIDE-Master Zalan Nemeth. He surprised me in the Meran with Bb3 and he got a big advantage, but in the middlegame he allowed me to sacrifice my queen and 2 pawns for 2 bishops and a knight.

The position was a bit better for him. He played it nicely and converted the advantage in a very long game.

I created a dew exercises from that game:

In round 7 I played with a young Indian Talent VandanAlankar Sawai. He played the ragozin defense and I took my time to decide on a solid response to force the exchange and a pair of knight and a pair of bishops. After a few mistakes my queenside attack became unstopable.
