European Championship 2012 - 7th round

Jozsef played his shortest game so far, unfortunately it was an easy loss as he ran into the pet line of his opponent. I got my home preparation on the board up to move eleven:


This is already OK for Black and after mass exchanges we got this on the board:


Here I chose Nb6-Bd7-Ke7 developing plan but after White's b3-a4 push I ran into problems as the further a5 push looked unpleasant. In the complications afterwards I lost a pawn and it wasn't a typical drawn rook endgame so I resigned after the time control.
The better plan would have been Nb8-Nc6 controling important squares.

After the game we had another big walk in Plovdiv:
