🔸Round 4
⚪️Hammer,Jon Ludvig (2632)
⚫️Lodici,Lorenzo (2407)
🔸½-½
🔹🔺 The interesting and tactical moments
of the European Club Cup Round 5
🔹🔺
📘 🔸33rd ECCC Open 2017 Antalya
🔸Round 5
⚪️Grischuk,Alexander (2785)
⚫️Mamedov,Rauf (2678)
🔸½-½
📘 10...Rb8
Chinese Dragon, with the idea of Rb8 and Na5. Mamedov already played some games in this line.
10....Rb8 might be an interesting alternative to the well-studied 10...Qa5 or 10...Ne5 (10...Rc8) for those who want to play Dragon but avoid the theory. So far Black has scored about 50% by playing this move.

🔸Round 5
⚪️Navara,David (2726)
⚫️Malakhov,Vladimir (2691)
🔸1-0
📘 24.c4!
With the idea of c5. For example if:
24...Kc8 25.c5 B×c5 26.N×c5 d×c5 27.B×e5 Q×e5 28.Qd7+ Kb8 29.Qd8 1-0

But in the main line:
24...c5 25.Nc3
And d5 and b5 are strong squares for the White knight.

🔸Round 5
⚪️Naiditsch,Arkadij (2702)
⚫️Kramnik,Vladimir (2794)
🔸½-½
📘 23...N×g2!
An interesting sacrifice by Kramnik!
24.K×g2 Qg6+ 25.Kh2 Nh4!
26.Rg1 the only move Q×d3 27.Nxh4 Rxf2+ 28.Rg2 Rf7=

🔸Round 5
⚪️Najer,Evgeniy (2699)
⚫️Harikrishna,P (2733)
🔸½-½
📘 44...Ne1+ 45.Kf1 Nf3? 46.Kg2 Ne1+? 47.Kf1 Nf3?
Harkrishna accepted the draw when he could get to the winning position with some extra moves!
47...N.c2 48.Bd2 d3 -+
And Black is winning.

🔸Round 5
⚪️Guseinov,Gadir (2647)
⚫️Karjakin,Sergey (2765)
🔸½-½
📘 14...g6
With the idea of Ng7 and Bf5. For the first time Russian GM Alexander Riazantsev played it against Nepomniachtchi in 2011. Strong Super GMs like Kramnik, Anand, Karjakin, and Wesely So have also played it occasionally.

🔸Round 5
⚪️Hammer,Jon Ludvig (2632)
⚫️Tari,Aryan (2578)
🔸0-1
📘 A) 6.Be2
French Super GM Laurent Fressinet scored plus 2 with this move, Super GM Peter Svidler drew one game against Grischuk, and Yifan Hou scored a win against Anish Giri.
Here are some advantages of this move:
- White keeps the bishop pair
- White tries to exploit the position of the d7-knight
- White is trying to get a space advantage by playing c4.

B) Bxd7
With the idea of playing c4 and Nc3 which is the main line and has lots of followers.
