Chess and Life Bejtovic Jasmin: Static against Dynamic
http://bejtovic.blogspot.com/2014/02/static-against-dynamic.html
De Verdier´s corner. Friday, 14 February 2014. The game that I want to present for my readers today, was played in Rilton Cup. In the very last round. The game was not particularly good, because of my bad play, but there was one very instructive point in the game. My opponent went for the position in which he had clear strategical plus. His knight was dominant to my bishop, and the pawn structure in the centre secured this. However, the things in chess are rarely one-sided. That was nothing but wrong!

Chess and Life Bejtovic Jasmin: April combinations
http://bejtovic.blogspot.com/2014/04/april-combinations.html
De Verdier´s corner. Saturday, 12 April 2014. It took really long time for me to finally write an article on the blog. What can I do, some other priorities in other parts of my life, and one really pleasant travel to Madrid and Toledo (expect pictorial reports) deprived om writing. In any case, everyone prefers quality over quantity, right? As always, try to solve these combinations (and studies) by your own, and you are always welcome to write your answers in the comments. Is there something better?

De Verdier´s corner. Tuesday, 18 February 2014. February Combinations - Solutions. It is time to show the solutions for the combinations. I thought that the first one was hard, but some of the readers solved it without any problems. White is winning now with. 2 Qxd4, Ne2. The third move was very hard for me. White has alternative in 2. Bxf4. But after 2.Rxf4. Black has enough compensation for knight on h2 (three pawns and some positional pluses). Links to this post. Saturday, 15 February 2014. Black is s...

De Verdier´s corner. Wednesday, 12 February 2014. XXVIII Festival of Games - Cannes. My next tournament will be very strong open tournament in Cannes, on French Riviera.

Chess and Life Bejtovic Jasmin: Elitserien - Report
http://bejtovic.blogspot.com/2014/02/elitserien-report.html
De Verdier´s corner. Monday, 3 February 2014. Before I write extended report on everything what happened this weekend in Swedish Elitserien, you can read this report, with one position from one of my games. Our expectations in Scania were to win at least something, but we didn´t manage that, and we lost both matches. Saturday´s match against current champions, Limhamn from Malmö, was the strangest match that I ever played. Thumb up for them. On the chess boards things was a bit different as expected.

Chess and Life Bejtovic Jasmin: Do not underestimate defencive resources!
http://bejtovic.blogspot.com/2014/03/do-not-underestimate-defencive-resources.html
De Verdier´s corner. Tuesday, 18 March 2014. Do not underestimate defencive resources! Today, I will try to write about interesting chess subject, but in a way that I want to include some recent tournaments that I played (not only my games! After an intense playing period I entered a training phase, and I can conclude that my results somehow went down, in 2014. It is quite strange to say that, as I played really good in Cannes. But Elo does not lie! A slight disappointment in Stockholm. As the Germans say.
