SOME TACTICS

wgm Stojanovic, Andjelija

wgm Vojinovic, Jovana

The game that essentially decided the national title! Black had just played the unnecessarily trappy 27…Bd5(?!), hoping for 28. BxB? Rc1+!. Unfortunately for her, Jovana saw a clever refutation.

HOW DOES WHITE GET A BIG ADVANTAGE?

———————————-

Ostojic, Katarina

wgm Maksimovic, Suzana

Position after 13 moves of play. Black had just played the optimistic 13…Nh4, trying to chase away the annoying Bishop on f4. Unfortunately, Black has landed into a minefield!

WHAT IS WHITE’S BEST COURSE OF PLAY?

——————————–

Serbian Ch Apatin 2014.3.30 Vojinovic, Jovana–Stojanovic, Andjelija: 28.Rxh8! White will get 2 pieces for a Rook 28… Rxh8 29.Bxd5 Rh1+ 30.Ke2 Ra1 31.b4 Rb1 32.Bb3 Rb2+ 33.Nd2 Nb8 34.Kd3 Kxe4 1-0

Serbian Ch Apatin 2014.4.2 Maksimovic, Suzana–Ostojic, Katarina: 14.Ndb5! cxb5 15.Bxd6 Qc6? Best was 15…Qa5. Now Black’s game is beyond saving: 16.e5! Qb6 17.Nd5! Qd8 18.Bxc5 Rxe5 19.Rxe5 Bxe5 20.Ne7+ 1-0
