🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 3
⚪️Anand,Viswanathan (2767)
⚫️Caruana,Fabiano (2811)
🔸1-0

📘 42.Rd6! 1-0
After this finishing move, Caruana forced to resign.
(42...Qc1 43.Rd8)
(42...Kh7 43.Ng5!+ h×g5 44.Qh5#)

🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 3
⚪️Kramnik,Vladimir (2787)
⚫️Hou,Yifan (2680)
🔸½-½

📘 16.h4
Kramnik missed an opportunity. He could have won an exchange: 16.e6! Q×g5 17.B×c6 B×e6 18.B×a8 R×a8 19.Re5 +/-
16...a6 17.Be2 =

🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 4
⚪️Hou,Yifan (2680)
⚫️Matlakov,Maxim (2718)
🔸0-1

📘 Let's look at the black position,
1- he has a passed pawn on f-file.
2- his king is active.
3- he is up a pawn.
46.Ke5?
White should have played 46.Kd3! 46...Rc1 47.Rh7 f5 48.Rg7 K×h4 49.R×g6 =
Now, Black's f-pawn will be decisive.
46...f5! 47.h5
(47.Rg8 f4! -+)
47...Re4+ 48.Kf6 g×h5 -+

🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 4
⚪️Kramnik,Vladimir (2787)
⚫️Svidler,Peter (2768)
🔸1-0

📘 18...Rc7? (B×e5=)
Svidler's carelessness that is instantly exploited by Kramnik .
19.R×a7! Rb8
(19...R×a7 20.Rd8 Kf8 21.B×a7 +/-)
20.Rd5 b6 21.Nb5 +-

⚪️#235 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Karpov
🔸Hort
🔸Budapest Budapest, 1973

📘 5.b4!
Fixing a6 and b5 pawns on squares of the same color as that of the black bishop.
5.Nc6+? only helps Black 5...Kd6.
5.Nf5? Bxf5! 6.Bxf5 g6 7.Bc8 a5 8.Ba6 b4 9.Kd4 Kd6=.
