Middlegame Secrets Vol.1 + Vol.2
Let us learn together how to find the best spot for the queen in the early middlegame, how to navigate this piece around the board, how to time the queen attack, how to decide whether to exchange it or not, and much more!
The Serbian Championships 2023 took place on June 6–14 in Senta, with the open and women’s tournaments running concurrently. Both competitions were 10-player round robins with classical time controls.
Aleksandar Injic entered the open section as the top seed and lived up to expectations, leading the field from start to finish. Going into the final round a halfpoint ahead of his main rival Robert Markus, he gradually outplayed Borko Lajthajm and secured the title. The champion scored an impressive 7½/9 and picked up 12 rating points.
Robert Markus finished a full point behind and took silver, while Milos Perunovic earned bronze. The defending champion Velimir Ivic netted only 5½/9 points and came fifth.
Attacking with the Jobava London System
The Jobava London System is a minor form of the London System. White tries to play Lf4 quickly followed by Nc3.
WIM Marina Gajcin dominated the women’s tournament, scoring an excellent 7½/9 and leaving the competition far behind. WGMs Irina Chelushkina, Jovana Eric and WIM Sandra Djukic tied for second place on 5½/9. The 2022 women’s champion, Irina Chelushkina, and Jovana Eric had superior Sonneborn-Berger scores and thus won silver and bronze, respectively.
