🔹🔺 The interesting and tactical moments of the Bundesliga 2017🔹🔺
🔸Bundesliga 2017
🔸Round 1
⚪️Jakovenko,Dmitry (2710)
⚫️Svidler,Peter (2760)
🔸1-0
📘In an almost losing position Svidler eased white's task by playing 45...Rxa2? 46.c5! +-
He should have tried the tricky move 45...Nh7 and now if white tries 46.c5? black plays
46...Nf6 47.Re5+ Kd8 48.Kd3 Rxa2
so that the black king is not cut from the d file anymore.

🔸Round 1
⚪️Kasimdzhanov,Rustam (2676)
⚫️Zpevak,Pavel (2342)
🔸1-0
📘 A thrilling finale!
57.R.f6! 1-0

🔸Bundesliga 2017
🔸Round 2
⚪️Nisipeanu,Liviu-Dieter (2672)
⚫️Kopylov,Michael (2424)
🔸1-0
📘 34...Bd4?
Nisipeanu made use of the Ukrainian IM's blunder.
35.Bd3! An important intermediate move
(If 35.Bg6 Ne5! and the c4 rook is defended)
35...Ra4 36.Bg6! +- Ne5 (Be5 37.f4+-) 37.Re4 N×g6 38.h×g6 1-0

🔸Round 2
⚪️Bindrich,Falko (2598)
⚫️Bromberger,Stefan (2505)
🔸1-0
📘 26...Ra8?
Black should have played 26...Rf8. By precise calculation white got a winning position:
27.Nc7! Ra3 28.Qb2 Rf8 29.Rcd1! (with the idea of R×d8) Ra4
(29...Ne6 30.N×e6 f×e6 31.Rd7 +-)
30.Rd7 Qb4 (Qg5 31.h4+-) 31.Q×b4 R×b4 32.R×d8 +-

🔸Round 2
⚪️Yankelevich,Lev (2442)
⚫️Jakovenko,Dmitry
🔸0-1
📘 7.Qe2!?
Similar idea has been played by Karpov in Keres attack decades ago. By developing queen from e2, white wants to free the d file for his rook after long castle. In addition, he keeps an eye on e5 possibility.

🔸Round 2
⚪️Yankelevich,Lev (2442)
⚫️Jakovenko,Dmitry
🔸0-1
📘 By playing 32...Nd2-/+, black missed a winning chance!
32...Bf6! 33.Bxf6 (33.Qe1 Qxe1 34.Bxe1 Nxb2-+) 33...Nd2 0-1
🔸Bundesliga 2017
🔸Round 2
⚪️Svidler,Peter (2760)
⚫️Meier,Georg (2655)
🔸1-0
📘 Meier allowed Svidler's king to penetrate to e6 by playing 46...Bd4? 47.Kf5!
Instead he should have played 46...Rd6! with some drawing chances for black.
