[Hans Jung]

On board one as Black is 12 yr old Sindarov. I noticed a chessbase article on this boy and how he has been beating GM's. For a 12 yr old he is extremely tactically talented. Witness the game in progress. Black has sacrificed a knight for 3 pawns in a topical line. What is going on?? Deep tactics. All eyes on Sindarov.

[Hans Jung]

In the Firouzja-Vavulin game white has marched his king from the kingside to the queenside in the middlegame where black has played an advanced kingside pawn attack (ala Kings Indian). Looks like fun.

[Hans Jung]

In the Firouzja-Vavulin game white built a commanding position with his pieces on the queenside but traded both his knights by move 40. So white is left with two bishops in a closed position. The computer likes white by 1.5 but I was always taught you had to open a breakthru (or threaten) at two points. So how does white break through? I dont see it.

[Hans Jung]

Sindarov showed amazing tactical abilities but unfortunately did not find the best transpositions. Still he made it exciting. An exciting player to watch.

[Hans Jung]

GM Maghsoodloo could end up dominating the tournament (so far he has) but there are still 3 key rounds left to play. Last round (rd 8) he won a tough fighting Sicilian as black. White was better for most of the middlegame but lost his way towards time control.

[Hans Jung]

The awaited matchup between GM Maghsoodloo and GM Awonder Liang should happen next round.

[Hans Jung]

https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2018...-Liang_Awonder GM Awonder Liang received an interesting lesson in this game. On move 20 as Black he played the "natural" developing move Rac8 which developed his last piece. What could be wrong with that? I know a number of club players who would do that on principle. In this game white had the subtle positional threat of Bf1! expoiting the white squares on the queenside. As the position was already tough for black it was hard to recover and GM Maghsoodloo expoited his advantage with further excellent positional play. Nice dominating endgame.

[Hans Jung]

After this round GM Maghsoodloo has 8.5 out of 9! and is a point and a half ahead of the field with two games to go. (pretty much a lock on first). The World Junior hasnt seen that kind of performance since the Shak won it twice in a row about 15 years ago.
