Round 5 - EUTender Master Tourney - Chebanenko Slav
In round 5 I played with FIDE-Master Zalán Németh from Hungary. He played the Chabanenko variation of the Slav defense. I used a lot of time in the opening to build an attack. I gained a lot of space on the queenside, but he defended well until we exchanged knight on e4. He captured back with the pawn which was a mistake. I got a better center and more active pieces, but I missed his Counter-attack and then I reacted badly and got a worse structure and lost a pawn. I had 1 more chance in the endgame to save the game, but I collapsed under the pressure:
