    Head Ofce 44 Baker Street, London W1U 7RT Tel: 020 7935 3445 Email: [email protected] www.chessinschools.co.uk CSC on Breakfast TV! www.bbc.co.uk/news/ education-13343943 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, 3rd September WORLD CUP WINNER VLADIMIR KRAMNIK TO PLAY IN 5TH LONDON CHESS CLASSIC Chess in Schools and Communities is delighted to announce today that GM Vladimir Kramnik, the recent Fide World Cup winner in Tromsø, Norway, has accepted his invitation to play in the 5th London Chess Classic to be staged at the Olympia Conference Centre in Kensington, running from Saturday 7th December to Sunday 15th December. London has become a happy hunting ground for Kramnik. Not only has the former World Champion been a regular at the London Chess Classic, winning the 2011 edition, and runner-up twice (behind Magnus Carlsen, the World No.1, on both occasions), in 2009 and 2012, but in 2000, London was also the venue for his historic world title win over Garry Kasparov. Earlier this week in Tromsø, Kramnik showed he’s still a major force in the game with his easy victory in the four-game Fide World Cup final over the current Russian champion, Dmitry Andreikin; that will see both qualify for next year’s Candidates’ tournament. And Kramnik’s overall performance in the World Cup, also saw the former World Champion once again reclaiming the World No. 3 spot in the September Fide rating list published this week. Kramnik now joins World Champion Vishy Anand and the US No.1, Hikaru Nakamura as the the third player to have confirmed they will play in the 5th London Chess Classic.

  • El Ajedrez Dejó Grandes Duelos En 2019
    El ajedrez dejó grandes duelos en 2019 La Habana, 28 dic (PL) El azerbaiyano Teimour Radjabov y el chino Ding Liren disputaron uno de los duelos ajedrecísticos más apasionantes del 2019 en la final de la Copa del Mundo de Khanty-Mansiysk, Rusia, por el título más codiciado del año. Radjabov, décimo cabeza de serie, se agenció el cetro al ganar la quinta partida de desempate, jugada a cinco minutos y luego de empates en los cuatro desafíos clásicos y los dos de tie break a 25 y 10 minutos, respectivamente. En su camino a la discusión de la corona, Radjabov debutó con un triunfo ante Helgi Dam Ziska, de Islas Feroe; luego eliminó a los rusos Sanan Sjugirov y Daniil Yuffa, y al azerbaiyano Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, séptimo preclasificado. Ya en cuartos de final derrotó al estadounidense Jeffery Xiong y en semifinales al francés Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, quien logró la tercera posición al vencer 4-2 al chino Yu Yangyi en los dos primeros compromisos de desempate, tras entablar en los cuatro clásicos. Un total de 128 ajedrecistas procedentes de 47 países participaron en la justa rusa, que otorgó a los dos finalistas (Radjabov y Ding) sus cupos al Torneo de Candidatos, del 11 de marzo al 5 de abril de 2020 en Ekaterimburgo, Rusia, esa lid determinará al retador del vigente titular universal, el noruego Magnus Carlsen. En el 2019 quedaron definidos los restantes clasificados para el certamen de retadores, una lista encabezada por el estadounidense Fabiano Caruana, segundo del ranking mundial, quien garantizó la plaza por ser el perdedor del match por el título universal ante Carlsen en Londres 2018.

  • Uma Partida Miniatura Entre Dois Gms (Comentada)
    P4R.COM.BR O site do Xadrez - 1/6 Uma miniatura entre dois GMs Todos nós, simples mortais, temos uma idéia de que deve ser muito difícil jogar contra um GM e que eles raramente erram. Também achamos que eles fazem cálculos perfeitos e o simples fato de pensar em encarar um deles já nos assusta. Nada mais normal do que isso, mas por outro lado, também nada mais normal do que perceber que eles também são humanos e erram bastante. Mesmo em jogos onde dois GMs se enfrentam, a partida pode durar poucos lances por conta de um erro de cálculo de um jogador e terminar abruptamente. Claro que isso só vai acontecer quando os dois jogadores forem GMs, especialmente quando um deles for Vladimir Kramnik. O jogo transcrito abaixo ilustra muito bem o fato de que até os GMs podem sucumbir em poucos lances. Basta que do outro lado do tabuleiro também exista outro GM. A partida aconteceu no torneio Qatar Master Open 2014, o aberto que foi disputado no Qatar, na cidade de Doha, entre os dias 25 de novembro e 5 de dezembro de 2014. Num total de 154 participantes, com quase todos tendo titulação FIDE, onde não se separaram homens e mulheres, estavam vários jogadores e jogadoras de elite, entre eles Vladimir Kramnik, Anish Giri, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, entre outros. O torneio foi vencido pelo chinês Yu Yangyi (ELO 2705), que nas últimas rodadas venceu Giri e Kramnik, totalizando 7,5 pontos em nove rodadas. A segunda e terceira posição ficaram com Giri e Kramnik, respectivamente, com 7 pontos cada um.
