🔸Round 16
⚪️Hosseinzadeh,Nima (2318)
⚫️Mosadeghpour,Masoud (2510)
🔸0-1
📘22.f4
Black could have played 22.a3! to deprive the opponent of any counter-play:
A)22...Rd4 23.Rdh1 With the idea of f4 +-
B)22...d4 23.Qf4 +-
C)22...Rb8 23.Rdh1 +-)

⚪️Hosseinzadeh,Nima (2318)
⚫️Mosadeghpour,Masoud (2510)
🔸0-1
📘 25...Re4?
Mosadeghpour could have finished the game by playing 25...Ra4! with a forced checkmate.
26.f5 Qb4 0-1
White lost on time in a better position, for example:
27.f×g6 f×g6 28.Bc1! With the idea of a3 —>R×h4
🔸Russian Championship Superfinal 2017
🔸Round 3
⚪️Matlakov,Maxim (2735)
⚫️Inarkiev,Ernesto (2689)
🔸½-½
📘 31...N×f2?
The only move was 31...Qc6!:
[31...Qc6! 32.N×e4
(N×f8? Ng5 -/+) Q×e6=]
32.Rd2+- (R×d5! +-)

🔸Round 3
⚪️Volkov,Sergey (2645)

📘 23...e6!!
Svidler's creative move that reflects the ability of his calculation and tactics.

🔸Russian Championship Superfinal 2017
🔸Round 4
⚪️Riazantsev,Alexander (2650)
⚫️Dubov,Daniil (2683)
🔸½-½
📘 9...b5!?
An interesting and very rare move which introduced by Cuban grandmaster, Walter Arencibia in 1998.
The idea behind the move is controlling c4 square and preventing of Qa4 and Bc4. If:
10.B×b5 Qa5 Black has enough compensation.
10.Rc1 Ba6 11.Be2 b4
