{In a Classical Sicilian, White avoids the main attacking lines 6.Bg5/Bc4 and
plays respectable 6.g3. With 10.Qe2 Michael is evidently out-of-book; GM
practice favours 10.Bg5/f4/h3. Paul simply completes his development and
equalizes. It is not so easy for White to untangle his Na3 as Black has
pressure on c4/c3/c2; White’s ‘Petrosian manoeuvre’ 18.Nab1 does not
make a beautiful impression. Black’s initiative grows but with 25…,d4 Paul
characteristically exchanges Queens preferring a small advantage in a
simplified middlegame to a potentially more promising 25…,d5! Accurate play
by White steers the game to an equal position and the players agree a draw.} 1.

{Jasmine has to face her favourite London System which she does sensibly with
a fianchetto setup. Daniel however shows his unfamiliarity with this opening
with a pawn grab 6.Bxb8 /7.Qa4+ known to be bad. Black quickly develops an
initiative sufficient for the pawn minus but with 17.0-0-0? White castles into
a winning attack. By 24…,Rxc5, White faces insuperable difficulties. Passive
defense by 25.Rb1 is best but he tries the interesting 25.Nf3? to which Black
could have won brilliantly with 25…,Rc3! Instead she plays 25…,Rc2 which
is still good and after 27.Kb1 wins prettily with 27…,Re2! Instead 27…,
exf3 allows White to escape to a drawn ending. A fine attack by Jasmine and
Daniel is lucky to draw.} 1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nf6 3. e3 c5 4. Nf3 g6 5. c3 Bg7 6.

{Nathan is a cautious player preferring solidity to risk. Here however he
takes it too far. After an equal almost symmetrical English opening Black
declines several possibilities for active play, 8…,d5 & 18…,f5  With 26.
Qd2 it becomes clear that White’s slow initiative has created play on both
wings (a & h files) and Black is struggling to prevent invasion. An
interesting game in which Black lost without making any obvious mistakes.} 1.

the most aggressive lines, recently favoured by Carlson & Caruana with both

{In the Nimzo-Indian White plays the most aggressive 4.a3 /6.f3 line aiming at
supporting e4 and a K-side attack with Ng3 and Ra2-e2. Black reacts sensibly

be active with …h5 and soon finds himself facing a hard-to-beat fork on d6.

{Against the rare Vienna opening, Simon makes an early mistake 3…Nc6 and
White’s centre pawns roll forward with a strong attack looming. Already by
move 11 White could strike with Qe1 & opening the e-file. Black fights for
equality and a critical position arises at move 22: White can sharpen play
with two moves: h4! or Ng6. Missing this White drifts into an ending in which
his N is inferior to Black’s well placed B. Simon plays this part of the
game efficiently and wins a game that looked like a loss earlier.} 1. e4 e5 2.

{Unusually, Paul tries a QP opening against Ben but the result is not a
success. In a slightly unusual QGD, White goes for the win of a pawn on c6 at
the cost of 2 tempi (6.Qa4+, 7.Ne5, 8.Nxc6) but then decides not to take.
Black, with superior development and control over white squares has the
initiative. No doubt reluctantly, White permits Black to stop him castling, 14.
g3?!,Bh3. White’s K is now in the centre and difficult to defend, although
possible according to Stockfish. White’s 16.f4 is the fatal weakening move
