should hase a winnuig position already. But
things are not vo simple. Black is arguing
that his development, king Mitels and active

lighl for control of the c-iile with 17Racl

Mates (hut the fide plQsmg against the i sol am
should keep as mam major pieces on Ihe
board and try Io provoke Ihe cxcliange of
minor pieces. in order kt successfully attack
ihe relative weakness of the central pawn

Sharjah GP 2017 - 6th Round (24.02.2017)
Efstratios Grivas (IGM-FST-IA-1O)
The round of the first kg of the RDF. Grand Prix was plaved on 24.02 2017 ui the Slunuli
Culture Л Chess Chib, located in Sharjah. I’nitcd Wah Emirate*. It was the close*! at a Hairs nnd
II.Nakainura had to dunk it was in the bug ax he prosed forth with a won endgame against A,GrIs-
chuk. hut n late misstep was all il took and Ihe chance Io join the leaders slipped awns LNepom-
niachtchi made no мкЬ mistakes and took down 11 Chao Io enter the group a half point behind the
leaders while R.Rapport is back al 50% after itelciitirig Riazanhcv. The presious uxind leaders
M.Vachicr I «grave and S Mamedyaros preserve their position by simpl) drawing their game. <o
they both remained still on Ihe lead Ihroc critical rounds arc still hi be plavcd and mv personal
opinion is that a 3 score should lie enough for al lead an equal slrare un the first position, Ihis is a
natural outcome when so matt} great players are gathering...
