Queens off the board, game tending towards a draw

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 3:38pm On Sep 04, 2017
Femi in trouble, Carlsen targeting his weak pawn, or force white to exchange his light bishop?...white have a really bad position after this...

He tempted femi to play Bg8 ,

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 3:44pm On Sep 04, 2017
Femi plays bishop defending his weak pawn but exposing another weakness.

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 3:49pm On Sep 04, 2017
Femi down a pawn. slowly being crushed

His dark square bishop pretty bad and passive, his best result will be a draw here.

if all pawns are exchanged on the queenside and the kingside, blacks advantage will be the b pawn which has a light queening square.

Should he aim to get black to relinquish the light square bishop and lead to that sort of an endgam?

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 3:52pm On Sep 04, 2017
Black goes yet after another weakness, white will find it hard keeping an eye out for all of them, great active play from carlsen, with no apparent weaknesses on his own side, he's world champ for a good reason

If not for the obsession with money and material things we would have advanced more than this. Femi played above his rating and he would have done more if this stupid country took intellectual development seriously. I know we have grandmaster materials among our citizens but the ogas at the top won't stop looting. embarassed

Cameroon held Nigeria to a 1-1 draw at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Group B of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Moses Simon gave the guests the lead in the primary half however a moment half punishment from Vincent Aboubakar implies the Super Eagles need to hold up somewhat longer before a billet in Russia can be fixed.

The West African monsters were in high spirits going to Yaoundé as mentor Gernot Rohr began with a similar XI that won 4-0 in Uyo.

It was however the Indomitable Lions that began on the front foot, putting the guests under early weight.

1-1 was the way it finished in Yaoundé as the outcome sees Nigeria hold their lead in Group B with 10 focuses while Zambia, who go to go up against Algeria on Tuesday, are second on 4 focuses.

PAWNS are the soul of chess after all. FM Balogun was dominated for this main reason, among other things.

Femi is quite passive... Pity...

Strategy is more powerful than force in warfare. Strategy is invisible while force is visible and the enemy can parry it. That's the idea.
