Kiril Simeonovski: <abuzic: <Kiril Simeonovski: . Note that White cannot take the pawn on d4 since Black Queen on d2 defends the pawn.>

Sep-04-12 Istanbul Olympiad (2012) 
|
Kiril Simeonovski: Today we defeated Italy 2.5-1.5 to keep chances for achieving the best result ever at the Chess Olympiads (11th place). Difficult match against the United States in Round 8 tomorrow, but it doesn't seem hopeless with a good play as we did it today. I also have a friend ... |

Jan-28-12 G Guseinov vs G Sargissian, 2011 
|
Kiril Simeonovski: Practically it's not hard to see 33.Qxe6+ and the idea behind the mate on the 8th rank, but the key move here is 36.Kg2. If white played 36. Kh2, then Black could win a rook for the queen by playing 36...Qd6+ and would have a safer ending with 2R against R+B. |

Kiril Simeonovski: First I went with 43...Qc2+ immediately, but white queen controlling the f2 square was blocking my combination. My second alternative was 43...e5 and after few minutes of problems in my calculations, I found all the winning positions. |

|
Kiril Simeonovski: This should be game of the day and not Anand's poor game against Nakamura. Very instructive game with simple line in the opening, clear plan in the middlegame, and a beautiful sacrifice to rip up black's King position. |

Dec-07-11 Anand vs Nakamura, 2011 
|
Kiril Simeonovski: It's a playable draw until move 40 and the "poisoned a-pawn" that Vishy unfortunately took and gave the initiative to Naka. What would have happened if he played 40.Rd3 is probably a smooth drawish position. However, after move 40 it's not a decisive advantage for Naka and |

Kiril Simeonovski: Reply to kevins55555:
By playing 21...Bh8 Black holds the position two moves longer, since now white mates after 22.Rxg5 Qxg5 23.Qxg5+ Kh7 24.Qh6+ Kg8 and 25.Ne7#. |
