TWIC 969
IM Gerzhoy defended the Winawer against GM Shabalov in the Chicago Open. The 9.a4/10.a5 plan leads to irrational positions(according the Vitiugov in The French Defence Reloaded 2012) but the opening was not the cause of the loss.

DC International Rd1
The path to second place was not all smooth sailing for IM Cheng. White had a good position in the early middlegame but did not find the best plan, which allowed Cheng to comeback in a complex position.

Re: CanadaChessNews Blog Updates

Your game header is misleading:
"Aurora Summer Open, Ottawa (Canada)"
We are quite far from Ottawa ;)
