🔹 The interesting and tactical moments of the World Cup Round 1- game2 🔹
🔺Due to the fact that White doesn't have a concrete plan, Black improves the position of his King by moving it towards the center🔺
very interesting and tactical game by Radjabov
By sacrificing a knight and then an exchange, he obtained sufficient compensation.
1...N.g3! 2.f.g3 Q.g3 3.Qc2 f5!
4.Bc5 f4 5.Qf2 Qg6 6.B.f8 R.f8! with black advantage

Black blundered by playing 1...Rec7. He should have played the prophylactic move 1..h5
1...Rec7? 2.h5! Bh7 3.Rd8! N.d8
4.R.d8 Ke7 5.Rh8 +-
1...Rec7? 2.h5! Bh7 3.Rd8! N.d8
4.R.d8 Ke7 5.Rh8 +-
A good tactical opportunity that White completely missed. He could reach a wining position with this interesting continuation!👇
1.B.h6!! B.h6 2.Rg1! +-
(if 2...Q.g1 3.R.h6+ Kg7 4.Qf6#)
1.B.h6!! B.h6 2.Rg1! +-
(if 2...Q.g1 3.R.h6+ Kg7 4.Qf6#)
Black blunderd in the completely winning position by playing a3??
1.R.a3! Rh3+ 2.Ke4 R.a3
He missed a beautiful stalemate!
1.R.a3! Rh3+ 2.Ke4 R.a3

🔹In this position with a fixed pawn centre,
White is slightly better thanks to the
more active placement of his minor pieces
How can he make further progress, considering
the fact that the d5-pawn is well defended
for the moment?. 1.h4! A typical advance to gain some space
and enable future pressure on Black's kingside.
Since the reply 1S ... h5 isn't possible,
the pawn can soon move on to h5.🔹

🔹5.Bc2! A small but useful move. The bishop can now go to b3 to put pressure on d5, while a subsequent Nd3 will help both the knight and the other bishop in finding new destinies.🔹
