Openings<br />
Q 2. Its move 12 in Keegan Agulhas 1726 vs<br />
Aubrey Solomon 1776 and black has just<br />
Bd6. The Carro Kahn though a slow opening<br />
is no area for an excuse to violate opening<br />
principles. Bd6 was the bishop moving for<br />
the second time, c5 was the c pawn moving<br />
for the second time, Nb6 was the knight<br />
moving for the second time, you get the<br />
drift, and how was black duly punished?<br />
Q 1, its move 13 in Spencer Masango<br />
2126 vs Athon Willenberg 1715. Black<br />
seems to be on a rampage to violate every<br />
opening principle in existence. With his last<br />
move Ne4 he has gone one step a bit too<br />
much. How does white capitalize on this<br />
mistake?<br />
Q 3. Move 8 Nh4 in Chad Willenberg 1586<br />
vs S Baloyi 1929. Nh4 is not bad really but<br />
a rather pointless move. In the game black<br />
played g6 severely weakening his kingside.<br />
What was black supposed to play after Nh4?
Middlegame<br />
Q 4. 18. ......Bg4 by black is a terrible<br />
Blunder in L. Bouah 2124 vs R Schutte<br />
1760. How does white capitalize?<br />
Q6. Geduld J 1758 vs Kulasande Mafanya<br />
1877 white has just played g4? Black<br />
responded with Re8 which was not the best<br />
of moves but there is a standard response in<br />
these Sicilian types. What was black<br />
supposed to do?<br />
Q 5. In this position S Darling 1925 vs Phera<br />
James 1793 white played the weak Qf2 still<br />
retaining winning chances. What was a more<br />
forceful way of obtaining the point?
Endings<br />
Remondo Solomons 1869 vs Mahlangu<br />
Sipho 1746<br />
Q 7. Pawns endings are exact endings. You<br />
go to them when you are sure of the<br />
outcome. White has just played Re3, should<br />
black exchange rooks?
