Olympiad Expo Classic - Round 1
The Chess olympiad started yesrterday in Budapest, Hungary. There are many side events.
I joined to Olympiad Expo Classic, which is a 9 round swiss tournament with players from 12 countries.
My oponent was a 10 years old hungarian talent Almos Marton-John.
I played the Intalian game and got a small edge out of the opening, some space advantage.
He missed a tactics and I was able to win an exchange.
His strong e5 knight and queen created a lot of counter-play and my time was very low when I decided to sacrifice back the exchange for a pawn.
I got very low on time and he could make the draw, but gave a bad check and then I was able to win one more pawn and the game.
You can watch the video about the game:
I created a few training exercises from the game:
