My Won Simultaneous Exhibition Game Against GM Yury Piskov At 'The Chess Square 2026'

 


My Won Simultaneous Exhibition Game 

Against GM Yury Piskov

At 'The Chess Square 2026'

(by Yury V. Bukayev)

Dear readers, now I'd like to inform you briefly about my recent won game against the famous Grandmaster in his simultaneous exhibition in Moscow. All official materials on this event can be shown by the editors of https://moscowchess.org . After my previous drawn games against famous Grandmasters Sergey B. Smagin and Alexander B. Zlochevskij (I'll tell you about both of these games later), where I had an advantage in final positions, this my new success seems to be even more important. 

 Thus, here is this notable game.

GM Yury V. Piskov - Yury V. Bukayev
 20-board simultaneous exhibition, Moscow, 2026,
August 29 ('The Chess Square 2026')

1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 Be7 5.Nbd2 O-O 6.O-O Nbd7 7.Ne5 Nxe5 8.dxe5 Nd7 9.f4 g6 10.Nf3 Nc5 11.b3 Nxd3 12.cxd3 c5 13.Bb2 Bd7 14.Rc1 b5 15.Qe1 a5 16.h4 a4 17.h5 axb3 18.axb3 Ra2 19.Rc2 c4 20.dxc4 bxc4 21.bxc4 dxc4 22.h6 Qa8 23.Nd4 Rb8 24.Bc3 Rxc2 25.Nxc2 Qe4 26.Nd4 Black won 
 We can see that the right STRATEGY was a cause of my rapid win. After the trivial move 26...Bf8! White loses the pawn h6. 
And here are the photos of maestro Yury Piskov's simultaneous exhibition:

Jerome Gambit: Oh, Never Mind...

                                                        

Today (I was not able to make the last meeting), I was back, again, at the very informal chess club that gathers at a local library every-other-week.

Three games, three wins; all by checkmate.

Two as Black, one as White.

No Jerome Gambit.

Maybe I need to work up a "reversed Jerome Gambit" - wait, I think I read something about that on a blog post, here...*






*(I suppose that I could start with "Worth a Second Look..." Part 1Part 2 and Part 3, featuring a sort-of "reversed Jerome Gambit.")
