Warmerdam seemed to be doing well against Maghsoodloo. Then he allowed too much counterplay and missed key moves. Time pressure?

Rd 9 Mendonca Santos Latasa Best endgame of the tournament! (sorry Erwin). With 32.Rg1 which was played with brass moxy White initiated a queen sacrifice which led to dominating piece play. In the endgame White had B+N+P vs rook but not easy to proceed. Black had several stalemate tries. What a game!Comment

Our first result is in the Challengers and its a dilly, a miniature. Santos Latasa vs Beukema. Black's position looks ok at move 20 except for one big problem. 20.e6! and the position gets ugly or collapses. Beukema chose to ignore and after pawn captures and Ng5. Just about any chessplayer could play the rest.Comment

Rd 10 Donchenko vs Gukesh was an exciting opening with pawn storms on both sides. There are ongoing fireworks in the middlegame, Gukesh style, and promises of a fascinating endgame. What more could a fan want?Last edited by Hans Jung; Wednesday, 24th January, 2024, 12:41 PM.Comment
