I would like to mention that the whole family contributed to this book. We are also extremely thankful to our friends, who, thanks to their previous experience, have introduced us to the process of creating chess books, with their invaluable advice and ideas. Considering the abundance of material regarding this topic that was gathered, we decided to make this book only the first, lower level of the “Positional sacrifice” edition. My father and I worked hard to make sure that the new book will be as interesting as the first one, but also more adapted to the wider audience.

For the Russian squad, there were wins for Sergei Movsesian, Maxim Matlakov and Ildar Khairullin, while Peter Svidler and Zahar Efimenko made draws.

  • 2020 Gibraltar Masters: Round 1 - 21 January 2020
    Monday 20 January - Thursday 30 January 2020 2020 Gibraltar Masters: Round 1 - 21 January 2020 John Saunders reports: The 2020 Gibraltar Masters, the 18th in the series, got underway on Tuesday 21 January 2020 at the Caleta Hotel. The entrants include seven players rated 2700+, and a further 27 rated 2600 or more, with 248 players in all vying for the increased first prize of £30,000 (roughly equivalent to US$39,000). Round one was the usual slaughter of the innocents, with rating differentials of around 300 points per board for the most part. This year’s joint top seeds, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (France) and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Azerbaijan) saw off their opponents efficiently, as did the next six players in order of rating. The 2700+ player who perhaps had to work the hardest was David Navara, who ground down Jovanka Houska in 61 moves in an opposite-coloured bishop endgame which, unluckily for the British Women’s Champion, turned out not to be as drawn as they often are. 12-year-old Candidate Master Raahil Mullick faces the full might of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov Running one’s eye down the results, the first deviation from the monotony of 0-1, 1-0, 0-1, etc, was Russian GM Maxim Matlakov’s draw with Erik Hedman, a 43-year-old Swedish IM. This was the same result as in last year’s third-round game between the same players. This might explain why Maxim decided to vary from their 2019 game with 3...a6 but it made no difference to the outcome.

  • Leinier Por Mantener La Gracia
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown El cubano debuta hoy en el Europeo de Clubes. Autor: Raúl Pupo Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 06:41 pm Leinier por mantener la gracia El ajedrecista mayabequense Leinier Domínguez comienza este domingo sus andanzas por la 32 edición del Campeonato Europeo de Clubes Publicado: Sábado 05 noviembre 2016 | 11:53:47 pm. Publicado por: Javier Rodríguez Perera Sin más deseos que preservar o mejorar ese espléndido momento del que es dueño, sin más aspiración que la de seguir sumando puntos a su coeficiente Elo, el ajedrecista mayabequense Leinier Domínguez (2752) comienza hoy sus andanzas por la 32 edición del Campeonato Europeo de Clubes, que se prolongará hasta el 12 de noviembre en el hotel Park, de la ciudad serbia de Novi Sad, bajo el sistema suizo a siete rondas. Domínguez «reposará» sobre la segunda silla del plantel ruso Mednyi Vsadnik, uno de los 62 que aparecen registrados en la página web del evento. Cada equipo cuenta generalmente con ocho jugadores —aunque en cada match ven acción solo seis exponentes—, por lo que Leinier tiene como compañe- ros a los rusos Peter Svidler (2742), Nikita Vitiugov (2718), Maxim Matlakov (2691), Ildar Khairullin (2630), Vladimir Fedoseev (2673), el israelí Maxim Rodshtein (2696) y el chino Xiangshi Bu (2698). Merece recordar que la presencia del cubano en este fuerte certamen obedece a su coronación en el Campeonato ruso por equipos, que se celebró en mayo de este año en Sochi. A la sazón, su selección obtuvo seis triunfos, una igualada en la fecha inaugural y un fracaso, rendimiento que le permitió culminar inalcanzable con 13 unidades; en tanto el antillano enfrentó ocho partidas, guardó una sonrisa, dos traspiés y cinco tablas, válidos para un total de 3,5 puntos.
