    “!Ya Es Suficiente¡ !Dejo El Ajedrez¡”

    Por el MN Ing. Orgel Bouza Quintero Batabanó, Cuba “!Ya es suficiente¡ !Dejo el ajedrez¡”. Que yo lo diga, no le preocupa tal vez ni a la propia Caissa, total, no se pierde un prodigio que digamos, pero estas palabras fueron pronunciadas en su momento, no sólo una, ¡sino 2 veces! por Leonid Zajarovich Stein, gran maestro soviético y uno de los mejores jugadores de su época. Esto sí seguro preocupó a la diosa por esa fecha, porque podía perder a uno de sus más queridos hijos y el mundo dejaría de disfrutar las espectaculares partidas que libró este gigante del tablero. Leonid Stein ha sido un poco olvidado, sobre todo del lado de acá del mundo, probablemente porque sus mayores éxitos deportivos los obtuvo dentro de la extinta URSS. Al recordar su fecha de nacimiento quise hacerle un pequeño homenaje a este formidable jugador, que nos dejó antes de tiempo y seguramente tenía mucho que hacer todavía en el tablero de las 64 casillas. Trataré de la más breve manera posible hacer un repaso de los momentos que más me llamaron la atención dentro de su carrera ajedrecística. Stein nace en Ucrania un 12 de Noviembre de 1934 y fallece un 4 de Julio de 1973, conoció el ajedrez a los 10 años y cautivó su interés desde el principio, fue admitido en el club de ajedrez del Palacio de los Pioneros de Lvov con 13 años pero su progreso fue lento, alcanzó la 1ra categoría 2 años más tarde, con 18 fue candidato a maestro y maestro con 24 años.

  • Ruy López Opening

    Ruy López Opening

    Ruy López Opening Rodrigo (Ruy) López de Segura (c. 1530 – c. 1580) was a Spanish priest and later bishop in Segura whose 1561 book Libro de la invención liberal y arte del juego del Axedrez was one of the first definitive books about modern chess play in Europe, preceded by Pedro Damiano's 1512 book, Luis Ramírez de Lucena's 1497 book (the oldest surviving printed book on chess), or the Göttingen manuscript (authorship and exact date of the manuscript are unknown). He was born in Zafra near Badajoz, and he studied and lived in Salamanca. In 1560 he won a match against Leonardo di Bona in Rome. In 1574–75, Ruy López lost the first known international master chess tournament, which was held, at the invitation of King Philip II of Spain, at the Royal Court of Spain in El Escorial, close to Madrid, to Leonardo di Bona, a Calabrian lawyer, and to Paolo Boi, but placing ahead of 4th (and last) place finisher Alfonso Ceron. The Ruy Lopez Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5) is named after him, as is a variation in the Petroff Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Qe7).
