Gambit Declined. In the opening phase of the game Humpy got the advantage and destroyed
opponents pawn structure by creating double isolated pawns d2,d3 in the center. Whites
king remained in the center and it looks almost winning for black. But at this stage of
the game humpy allowed her opponent to play b3 on his 17th move and Bb2 on his 18th move
to get counter play. Humpy could have played 17th move Nf5 instead of inferior Be6 move.

of Israel with white pieces in the Ruy-Lopez Exchange variation. He is on 4 points. |
