Kourkounakis vs Benatsis (simul Preveza)

Ο Αλέξανδρος Μπενάτσης συμμετείχε στο χθεσινό σιμουλτανέ στην Πρέβεζα και μετά τη νίκη του επί του Σπ. Σκέμπρη έχει να δείξει και μία ισοπαλία εναντίον ενός International Master και φυσικά πολύ δυνατού και έμπειρου σκακιστή, όπως είναι ο Ηλ. Κουρκουνάκης. Ας δούμε πώς πήγε η παρτίδα τους...

A missed opportunity and a typical Benko win

Κλείνουμε σήμερα την αναφορά μας στις παρτίδες του Γιάννη Παπαγεωργίου από το Γάζι με μία χαμένη ευκαιρία στον προτελευταίο γύρο και μία τυπική νίκη (για το Benko Gambit) στον τελευταίο. Και οι δύο αντίπαλοι του Γιάννη ήταν προετοιμασμένοι, αφού είχε χάσει σε προηγούμενο γύρο μία Caro-Kann, οπότε πολύ σωστά αποφάσισε να παίξει μία άλλη βαριάντα στο ίδιο άνοιγμα και όχι την βαριάντα προώθησης, ενώ στον τελευταίο γύρο ο αντίπαλός του επαναλαμβάνει την κλειστή βαριάντα στο Μπένκο με 5.β6, ωστόσο ο Γιάννης είναι πολύ έμπειρος στα συστήματα αυτά και καταφέρνει να εκμεταλλευθεί τις ανακρίβειες του αντιπάλου του.
