Black Counterattacks in the Reti Lasker System – Pressure against f2.

The central push is possible due to weakness of f2.

19. ... Rd8 20. Nf3 e4 21. Ne1

21. ... Bxf2+! 22. Kh1

( Accepting the sacrifice is also losing because the white pieces are all stuck in the corner on the queenside. 22. Kxf2 exd3 23. Nxd3 Ng4+ 24. Kf1 Bxd3 25. exd3 Qe3 26. Bd4 Nxh2# )

White committed to the queenside piece regrouping so e2-e4 is not in the cards yet. Therefore Black can safely put the bishop on d6 and prepare e5.

12. ... Bd6 13. Qa1 Qe7 14. Nh4

20. ... Bxf2+ 21. Kh1 Qxe2

Each side just goes with their own attack without caring about defence.

22. Bxg7 Bxd3 23. Bh8 d4 24. Nc5 Kxh8 25. Rxf7 Rac8 26. Bf3

26. ... Rxc5 27. Bxe2 Rxe2 28. Rxf2

Checkmate is inevitable so White resigned. Quite a bloodbath that seemed unlikely to come out of a calm opening.

19. f4 Nc4 20. f5

White has to push through on the king side to extend the diagonal for the b1 bishop and free up the a1 rook.

20. ... Nc7 21. Ne2 Na5 22. fxe6 Nxe6 23. Bf5 Nb3 24. Rb1 Bb5 25. Be3 O-O-O 26. Rf1 Kb8 27. Rf2 Qc6 28. Nf3 Be7 29. Rd1 Rhg8 30. Nf4 Ng5

31. e6 f6

Now the structure remains very unbalanced with White dominating the kingside and Black - eventually getting through on the queenside.

( 31. ... fxe6 32. Nxe6 Nxe6 33. Bxe6 Rgf8 34. Ne5 would activate White's pieces. )

With the rook supporting the h pawn Smirin delays castling and uses the f1 square to rerout the knight.

Converting Extra Exchange - What is the Best Plan?

I played this game recently, and to my shame - lost the position with an extra exchange. What is the best plan to convert the material advantage? Is it possible to formulate it up front?

Jiganchine, Roman - Trotchanovich, Pavel, 2015.03.17 , C99

Bxb5 dxc3 ~ was rejected because of memories of our last game that went bad for me where Pavel sacked an exchange and won against me )  22. ... d5 23. Ba4 dxe4 24. Nxe5 Nxe5 25. dxe5 Bxe5 26.

White has a pure extra exchange, but the black pawn on e4 somewhat prevents the white rooks from getting activated, and converting the advantage unexpectedly proved a challenge. Coordinating the two white rooks while insisting on exchanging one of them must be the key to winning this position.

Online Chess Servers – How to Download your Own Games

Different online servers provide ability to download your games, which is useful if you want to analyse them yourself, add a game to your opening database, etc.

Lichess gives you a link like this:

From what I recall, PlayChess automatically stores all your games locally, which is convenient, unless you use several machines, I am not sure  how it handles this case.

ICC, at least the Blitzin interface, makes you download each game one by one, which is ridiculous, time consuming, and must be done very frequently, as this is only possible for the last 20 games you played.

Is there a better way to get your games on ICC, or on other servers? I’d like to hear if you have experience with other systems.
