 Balash, if one again, you beat Irene Secunda. Well, I have to admit that I was a bit lucky in this game because after move 15 I started to feel that tiredness is making its impact, so I strive for simplifications even though I think after the move 10 I was better in this strange anti-marshall because she played both h3 and h4, which I think shouldn't be so good, but then I couldn't find a good plan to increase my advantage if I have some, but I guess I have, so I strive for simplifications and then in this very symmetrical position I think for no reason she gave up bishop pair and after that it was one sided and she made a decisive mistake in I think move 40, but even after that there were some tricks left, but okay once I got the time I could calculate it all. Do you think history could be repeating itself from rounds one and two? Because you're doing well, your colleagues not so well, what do you think? Well in Hungary we say that don't paint the devil on the wall, so yeah I also thought about the same that we were plus five before the round and two plus three victories for the ladies would make them champions, so I don't want history to be repeated. Are you a little bit worried? Yes, I have to admit, I don't lie, I cannot lie, so I'm not good at it. Okay, let's look at the game. Hey Balash, we're looking at a fairly orthodox Rylapaz position here, take it away. Yes, it looks familiar because I had the same position two days ago against Gunay and then I opted for d6 and to transpose to some main line Spanish, but today I decided to change to some anti-martial. Can I have the pen please? Yeah, thanks. So here main move is d3 and here I either go for d6 and some close positions or d5 sacrificing upon and in typical martial spirit and then I can either play an id4 for like positional compensation to get the bishop pair or play queen d6, then swing a rook e8, c5 and try to cross the bishop via d8 to c7, play for attack, but instead she played a4, nice move which is to me it made a strange impression because white either plays a3 and then d3 or first a4 and then bishop b7 d3 and here the e4 pawn is undefended so okay if I play d6 then this really nothing happens so I tried to make use of this omission. So bishop a2 knight e4 d3 is natural, I checked something if knight e5 I'm not sure it works I can start with bishop c5 but let's say knight f2, king f2 and bishop c5. I think white cannot take so she has to play some queen h5 because here d4 queen f6 queen h4 it reminds me and I think it will remind the diligent viewers for the game BR against Dubov in similar variations but of course she played d3 and okay after this I try to find different plans to play d5 c5 c4 to cut off the bishop just play c5 d6 develop the pieces and okay I decided to play it safe and easiest because I wasn't sure about anything so after move let's say 20 some exchanges happened. Yeah so I think yeah d4 I wasn't really sure about because after c4 I can get the knight to this juicy d5 square so I think still the position should be equal and what I didn't understand is that why she let me take the bishop pair with 26 f3 because instead she could play queen c1 queen e2 or something and after knight e5 she could return with bishop b2 bishop d2 so after that I regained the bishop pair she played some knight g4 and after I think offer draw after queen exchange move yeah here because of course recapture is really easy what I spent like two minutes because I was like probably the position is equal but with few minutes on the clock 1 km becomes rest as this is what happened I think I thought the optimal defensive setup for white would be just to play like let's make some look a knight f3 king f8 is normal g3 king e7 and here I thought f4 is possible because whenever g5 happens knight f5 is quite unpleasant let's say bishop this is my move okay let's say okay b4 I think she was afraid that I would push b3 but I think that's just nothing so or or she could even bring the king first closer let's say previous move some some king e2 okay king e2 now brief b3 so okay but yeah then the bishop is cut off so what I want to show is okay let's go back to bishop b4 now yeah here before b yeah before okay what I want to show is that like some optimal defensive setup would be that the king just arrives on time to d2 bishop to f3 and I think should be it should be a draw and even at move yeah some 37 I think yeah here okay bishop a2 I didn't really understand I could play king b6 king a5 but I didn't want to lose time because b4 is easier to make already because if she takes what she did in the game then I come with king b5 I'm not sure about actually I think I calculated one line that let's say she gets here in time but bishop c8 is like key move forcing g5 I guess I take and I wasn't sure about this end game but maybe wins for me because the bishop is scuttle from from from the game and it was move 41 it was critical position king a4 yeah sister yeah 39 bishop b1 39 bishop yes yes this one so originally I wanted to take back a take on on b4 take back the pawn but then I realized that okay it's move 40 I can always take back so let's play king a4 and here it's already not easy so like she previous moves she played bishop e2 bishop b1 so so like making bishop e2 would be quite silly but probably need or 91 but in none of them words and I think she found okay if King b4 bishop c2 maybe reaching some kind of setup but even after that I can try to switch to to the this exponent okay I think now nice white misses only one tempo and now I win so I wasn't sure about King b4 but I didn't want to give time so I played King b3 yeah that's right so now King b3 that's fine and here what she played b5 yeah okay other than that if I take on b2 and return to c3 b4 would be hanging so it's logical to push the pawn forward as possible and I was quite lucky here because I missed like I think I played King takes me to a tempo and bishop b4 is a very clever or resourceful defending plan because the plan of course pawn is hanging and if I take I wasn't sure about this but wow wait yeah a king I thought King d2 is possible and now what has to go back to see for because if she takes I think I promote and there is no check so she goes back King maybe maybe 96 is possible but let's say we get this endgame I can even call like the pawn probably should be winning but wasn't 100% sure so I had to check other options bishop a4 instead of King c3 one move sorry one more move bishop e4 instead some sorry bishop e4 yeah the move she played all right here probably c3 wins as well but I wasn't sure for two reasons one is that she gets this defensive setup with knight c2 and bringing the king closer should be winning but then I realized that she can play bishop c2 instead and the thing is that she brings the king via e2 to d3 and then 91 check suddenly wins my pawn so I had to be alert and I think King c3 I found okay I'm proud of that if wins it should be I can be proud of that so the point is that if she takes 95 King d4 both pieces hanging no discoveries is a winning but the big point was that if she takes with the bishop instead I take and this is very similar but still very different from the previous endgame with knight against bishop because her knight doesn't have a good square like okay knight f6 goes too far away and if she comes here King d3 I think I play first and then I threaten to play bishop c5 if b5 b6 I'm still in time bishop c5 they can return to a7 so should be winning and she tried a resourceful defense once again like seemingly slosing but actually it's not so easy because I cannot really move my bishop away from this diagonal because it has to defend the pawn I played okay King c5 King d2 that's normal and here okay I cannot push d4 I cannot move my bishop what do I do and actually the winning point is like very very narrow I think quite narrow but I think I found it low so bishop is seven it's necessary that I have the bishop on this diagonal and not on the other one I will I will show in a second why right King c2 bishop f6 and the thing is that yeah bishop f6 thank you my plan is that I want to get to the knight why I'll bishop d4 and if the knight moves I can take the pawn so and then of course it's winning yes so I and I need to use the f6 square because other than that let's say I and the point is that if she plays b6 okay burning all bridges now it's important that I have bishop d8 if I don't have bishop d8 maybe she makes a draw because let's say if I have the bishop on g7 instead I can only play bishop d4 and bishop d4 now she starts with 95 takes on b7 and I have to take okay maybe bishop f2 wins but I don't want to try that and my idea was when she plays b6 yes in this analysis variation this I can just go back here and the point is that I'm close with the bishop because if she takes I take on b7 bishop c7 and I don't have this resource with the bishop on yeah whatever g7 you're controlling those two squares yeah whatever she does you've got a bishop move yes yes and she tried some g5 once another sacrifice to bring the knight closer but I was two pounds up and after that let's say move 52 like here let's okay I play g5 of course to save the night yeah after that okay I played some king c5 but I could just untangle basically with bishop c6 because even okay let's say bishop g2 just to show okay bishop c6 okay next move king c5 and there is no 97 if she takes even this endgame wins with because of the existence of the g-pounds okay five h-point then it's a draw because the corners her is not good but with g-pounds who cares and the thing is that let's say why just cannot set up a fortress like here I will start pushing f and if she sacrifices I have still got one point yeah it's enough to win very good thank you very much thank you
