Jan 24th: USCFWebsite Final standing for prizes and trophies: OPEN, Beginners; FamilyTEAM The prize ( the magnetic Chess Set) for best game on Board #1 against our “House Chess Master” Leonid BONDAR goes to R3 player Temurbek SALOMOV. Leonid won first 3 rounds against scholastic opponents, and than make a draw in the Final 4th against Yakov STRELCHIN. If that is sound familiar , it is because this scenario had repeated from the last ACC tourney on Dec.13th. However, while all scholastic opponents have again a negative differential of central pawn loss, according to Stockfish14 computer , but Yakov had improved this game from the last month and was able to offer a draw from the position of strength. (R1=-23;R2:-29; R3:-16;R4=+6) As always you can find ALL four round played on the Board#1 in this LiChess study ACC23-01.

The 1st board action: The prize ( the magnetic Chess Set) for best game on Board #1 against our “House Chess Master” Leonid BONDAR goes to Round 3 player Ragavendhar SUNILKUMAR,(best game by the player, who did not won the trophy or money prize). Leonid won first 3 rounds (against scholastic opponents, under 14) and make a draw in the Final 4th against Yakov STRELCHIN. All his opponents have a negative differential of central pawn loss, according to Stockfish14 computer (R1=-23;R2:-39; R3:-17;R4=-1) The last game was a draw in 15 moves, but it may be the most educational. It was a most played Roy-Lopez opening, with the Central fork and Black received a slightly worst position, with the last move Leonid could of secure his victory, but 15.b3? was a mistake, realizing that, Leonid had offered a DRAW. What was correct move and why, and what should be Black response to take advantage of 15.b3 … and to equalize position? See the LiChess study here LiChessACC22-10
