10/12/2019 – From Mumbai, AMRUTA MOKAL updates on the penultimate round of the World Youth Championship, where Praggnanandhaa is poised to take the prestigious Under-18 Open section and Polina Shuvalova continues to lead the Under-18 Girls. | Photos: Amruta Mokal

Every pawn structure has its typical plans and to know these plans helps you to find your way in these positions. On this DVD Mikhalchishin presents and explains the most common central structures: The Hedgehog, the Maroczy, Hanging pawns and the Isolani.

Heartbreak and triumph at the top

The penultimate round of the World Youth Championships 2019 was filled with action. Praggnanandhaa continued his sprint towards the title in under-18 open section by winning his game against Paulius Pultinevicius. Shant Sargsyan was saved by the skin of his teeth against Mitrabha Guha and is still right on the heels of Praggnanandhaa. Polina Shuvalova keeps her lead intact in under-18 girls. Nazerke Nurgali has finally managed to edge out Leya Garifullina in under-16 girls and Rudik Makarian has taken the sole lead in under-16 open. Aydin Suleymanli from Azerbaijan leads in the under-14 open while Bat-Erdene Mungunzuul has come strongly to the top as the sole leader in under-14 girls. The last round is played on today when the 18 medal winners will be decided.

Praggnanandhaa beat Pultinevicius and confirmed a medal for India whereas Shant Sargsyan beat Mitrabha Guha taking the second spot for now.

 
Praggnanandhaa - Pultinevicius
Position after 26.c4

26.c4!? was a well-timed decision by Pragg. You may feel that after 26...dxc4 27.bxc4 b4, the pawn on c4 is weak and the knight on c5 is very strongly placed. But Pragg had seen it beforehand that the knight on c5 is not stable and can be evicted with ♘b3, when either Black has to take on b3 and give White a protected passer or move from c5, when the c-pawn starts marching down the board.

 
Position after 35.c6

35.c6 by Pragg in this position was a mistake because Black could take 35...♜xc6 36.♖dxc6 ♝xc6 37.♗xa6 ♜a8! 38.♗xc8 ♜xa5 39.♖xc6 and it seems like White is simply a piece up, but...

 
Analysis
Position after 39...b3

39...b3!! This is the point that is easy to miss! This would help Black to save the draw! 

 
Position after 36.♗xa6

Pultinevicius took on c6 with his bishop and after 36.xa6 everything was fine for White. Pragg went on to win the game.

However, as Pragg shows, the move Nb3 will evict the knight from c5 and White will have a lot of pressure on the queenside thanks to his bishop pair. 28.Qa5 226 Nd7 406 29.Nb3 136 h6 305 30.c5 139 Bb7 229 31.Rd6 43 Nc6 149 32.Qa4 7 g5 34 Black's position was already bad and in time pressure Pultinevicius decides to create some mess. 33.Na5 58 Nxa5 41 34.Qxa5 1 gxf4 27 35.c6?! 29 35.Qxb4 Bxg2 36.Qxf4 was winning but Pragg didn't decide to go for it in time pressure. 35...Bxc6?! 36 35...Rxc6! 36.Rdxc6 Bxc6 37.Bxa6 Ra8 is the key point. 38.Bxc8 Rxa5 39.Rxc6 b3!

Praggnanandhaa explains his round 10 win

Shant Sargsyan scored a lucky victory in the tenth round. He was completely lost in the endgame against Mitrabha Guha. But Mitrabha hallucinated for a move and it was all over! 

 
Mitrabha - Shant
Position after 39.Bxf7

White is completely winning here. He is a pawn up and has the bishop pair:

 
Position after 43...d2

After a few inaccuracies it was already time to start thinking about a draw here with 44.♗xd2 followed by taking on c6. However, Mitrabha took on c6 allowing Black to queen. What was the point of his play? Isn't the bishop on d5 hanging with a check? Well, he played his bishop back to f3. 

 
Position after 45...♛c2

After 45...c2 he had to throw in the towel as cxb7 is met with Bd4! White can make a queen, but there is mate coming up! Mitrabha resigned.

It was a King's Indian where White seemed to have made early inroads on the queenside. But it turns out that although White broke through on the queenside, the real action was on the kingside where Arash Daghli struck with his pawns, typical of the King's Indian.
