🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 5
⚪️Svidler,Peter (2768)
⚫️Hou,Yifan (2680)
🔸1-0
📘 16.Qa4!
A dual-purpose move:
1- Preparing the minority attack b4-b5.
2- Defending the d4-pawn in order to play e3-e4 at the right moment.
16...Nd7 17.Nf3 Ndf6 18.b4 a6 19.b5 c×b5 20.N×b5 +/-

🔸Round 5
⚪️Svidler,Peter (2768)
⚫️Hou,Yifan (2680)
🔸1-0
📘 There are three reasons why Black's position is undesirable:
1- His knight on h5 is badly placed.
2- Black pieces have no coordination.
3- the weakness of isolated d5-Pawn.

📘 38...d3?
Hou Yifan has made another blunder. She committed many mistakes in this tournament.

⚪️Svidler,Peter (2768)
⚫️Carlsen,Magnus (2834)
🔸½-½
📘 26.R×f7!+
A beautiful drawing combinations!
26...N×f7 27.Qe8+ K×g7 28.Q×f7+ Kh6 29.Qf4+ Kg6 30.Qf7+ Kh6 31.Qf4+ =
The two players have faced each other 39 times. Overall, Carlsen won 11 games to Svidler's 7.
⚪️#239 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Ragozin
🔸Verer
🔸corr, 1932
📕 1.Qd4!
The queen is usually a bad blocker, but here it keeps a strong centralized position and Black's pieces cannot disturb it. It is a direct effect of the exchange of dark-squared bishops.
⚫️#240 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Virtenzon
🔸Tal
🔸Lucerne, 1982
📕 1...d4!
Here the influence of the d2-rook does not really discourage Black from advancing in the center. He is ready for it! All Black's pieces have been brought into play. Black realizes the breakthrough d5-d4, which increases the activity of his pieces. White's king can be the subject of attack.
