Premier Chess At The “2019 Vesuvio Chess Festival”

It was during Evan’s trip to Italy that Premier Chess’ Facebook page hit 7600 likes. He shared a lot of his experience throughout the country through Premier Chess’ social media, that’s why you should all follow us here! He’s played in the strongest section of the tournament. Indeed his two losses were against International Masters, one of which was definitely not one sided. Anyway we want you to witness one of the game that took place during the 2019 Vesuvio Chess Festival.

[Event “Vesuvio Chess Festival”]
[Site “Boscorecase, Italy”]
[Date “Nov 30, 2019”]
[Round “2”]
[White “Rabin, Evan “]
[Black “Mansugo”]
[Result “1/2-1/2”]

1. e4 Nc6 2. d4 {Black’s 1st move Nc6 allows a certain flexibility. In this
position both d5 and e5 have been played a lot.} 2… d6

(2… Nf6?! {Here White
can play e5 and get back into the Alekhine, but d5 should give him a solid
advantage!} 3. d5 Ne5 4. f4 Ng6 5. e5 Ng8) 3. d5 Nb8 4. c4 e6 5. Nc3 exd5 6.
cxd5 Nf6 7. Nf3 {[%csl Yd6,Yd5,Ye4,Rf8,Rc7][%cal Rf3e5,Rb5c6,Gc6e5]If we compare this position to a Benoni-type position there are
certain similarities and difference we should notice. White has a central e4-d5
pawn chain. But Black’c pawn is still on c7 unlike in the Benoni where he is on
c5. Moreover Black hasn’t played the move g6-g7.} 7… Be7 8. Bd3 O-O 9. h3 c6
{I think c6 makes a lot of sense since c5 would make the queenside appear like a
benoni while still having Black’s dark-squared bishop sitting on e7, which
wouldn’t help out Black’s diabolical plan on the Queenside. The h8-a1 diagonal
is a thing.} 10. O-O cxd5 11. exd5 h6 12. Bf4 Re8 13. Rc1 a6 14. Bb1 Nbd7 15.
Re1 Bf8 16. Rxe8 {Perhaps keeping more pieces on the board would be interesting
since Black’s position seems to be somewhat cramped.} 16… Qxe8 17. Qd4
{Centralizing your pieces is almost always a good thing.} 17… b5 18. Nd1 {The
opening part is definitely over and an original game occurred.} 18… Bb7 19.

to secure the win.}) 73. Kc4 Qf7+ 74. Kc3 Qc7+ 75. Kd3 Qb8 76. Ke4 Kg6 77. Rb6+

dead draw. White made somewhat of a fortress.} 82… Qb8 83. Kc6 1/2-1/2

  4. A model here, in a sense, is Japan: as the <a href="[Link deleted](JPY) weakened from JPY 100 to the dollar to JPY 150 over the past three years, Japanese inflation rose from minus 1 per cent to something approaching 3 per cent.
