Chacun en fera lecture à travers . son prisme pour en déceler à travers les figures, nouvelles et anciennes, qui le composent, une inclinaison régionale ou idéologique, y lire l’empreinte d’un rapport de force ou une volonté de concrétisation des promesses du candidat à la présidentielle, dévoiler des indices de changement ou le contraire... Le porte-parole de la présidence de la République a, en fait, déjà qualifié ce nouveau gouvernement en indiquant que sa composition exprime «le lancement du changement économique en Algérie, conformément aux promesses faites par le président de la République lors de la campagne électorale et affirmées dans son discours à la nation lors de la prestation de serment». La feuille de route du gouvernement Djerad est donc claire : sortir le pays de son ornière financière et relancer une machine économique qui patine dans la gadoue où l’ont précipitée les décisions éhontées des Exécutifs précédents. Ce gouvernement, large tout de même de 39 membres (dont 5 femmes), 7 ministres délégués et 4 secrétaires d’Etat, avec des missions tout à fait nouvelles pour certains, n’aura pas la tâche facile dans le nettoyage des écuries d’Augias et devra faire preuve d’un sens de l’innovation dans les solutions qu’il adoptera. Inutile de faire dans la spéculation, on en sera fixé très vite puisque dès demain, le nouvel Exécutif devra présenter son plan d’action au premier Conseil des ministres que présidera le chef de l’Etat. Nul doute, toutefois, que le gouvernement Djerad bénéficiera d’un climat politique plus clément pour déployer son action. En effet, la plupart des manifestants incarcérés, y compris les figures de proue du hirak, ont été affranchis, et il est attendu que tous les détenus d’opinion retrouvent leur liberté. Une mesure d’apaisement politique et une ouverture au dialogue auquel avait appelé le président Tebboune, qui avait fait promesse d’œuvrer à l’instauration d’une nouvelle République, conforme aux aspirations du peuple algérien. n Horizons ww DÉTENUS DU HIRAK ww CRISE EN LIBYE ww ANP LIBÉRÉS Envoi de 100 tonnes d’aide 84 Un engagement humanitaire .PAGE 7 terroristes de la campagne neutralisés électorale en 2019 es autorités judiciaires ont, à travers l’ensemble du es opérations de l’ANP se sont soldées L territoire national, remis en liberté, jeudi dernier, 76 Lpar l’élimination de 15 terroristes, l’arres- personnes arrêtées lors des marches populaires. tation de 25, et la reddition de 44 autres.

Lolli used Ercole del Rio's Sopra il Giuoco degli Scacchi (1750) as the basis for this great encyclopaedic work on chess. “Lolli’s book is divided into three parts, of which the first is the annotated text of del Rio’s volume of 1750, preceded by a letter from that writer with many valuable hints for the player; the second is a similar treatise dealing with the defence, written expressly for the book by del Rio, and elaborately annotated by Lolli - a very necessary thing, for del Rio's text was even more difficult than that of the earlier work; and the third is a treatise on the ending by Lolli himself.” (Murray, ‘A History of Chess’, 1962 reprint, page 868.)

  • The Superstar Effect: Evidence from Chess
    The Queen’s Gambit: Explaining the Superstar Effect Using Evidence from Chess * Eren Bilen† Alexander Matros‡ September 24, 2021 Abstract. Superstars exist in classrooms and workplaces. Superstars can either intimidate others by making their peers put in less effort, or they can encourage others by inspiring everybody to “step up” their game. In this study, we analyze direct and indirect effects of a superstar on their peers using evidence from chess. We find that the direct superstar effect is always negative. The indirect superstar effect depends on the intensity of the superstar: if the skill gap between the superstar and the rest is small (large), there is a positive (negative) peer effect. JEL classification: M52, J3, J44, D3 Keywords: superstar, tournament, effort, chess *We would like to thank seminar participants at Dickinson College, Laboratory Innovation Science at Harvard, Lan- caster University, Murray State University, Sabanci University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, University of Nebraska Omaha, and University of South Carolina, as well as, participants in the 6th Contests Theory and Evidence conference at the University of East Anglia and the 90th Southern Economic Association Meeting for their questions and suggestions.

  • Reflections on the Lecture of Grandmaster Levon Aronian by Dr Lyndon Bouah
    Reflections on the Lecture of Grandmaster Levon Aronian by Dr Lyndon Bouah On the 10th of January 2020 I attended a Masterclass presented by Grandmaster Levon Aronian. The event was held in the lovely setting of the University Museum in Stellenbosch. Players came from Cape Town and the areas surrounding Stellenbosch to hear the super grandmaster Levon Aronian who is currently the number 6 in the world. Grandmaster Aronian was wearing a Madiba shirt when he presented the lecture. Grandmaster Aronian is from Armenia. Armenia is a country situated close to Russia and has a population of about 3 million people. The capital city is Yerevan. The most famous Armenian player before Aronian was the 1963 world champion Tigran Petrosian. GM Tigran Petrosian GM Aronian was introduced by the Cape Winelands chairperson Adv Freek Geyer by saying that GM Aronian owns the most famous dog in Armenia called Ponchik. GM Aronian was also recently on the the television series Dancing with Stars and he loves classical music. Adv Geyer said that the chess credentials of GM Aronian are so well known that it needs no introduction. The 2014 number 2 edition of New In Chess has given some information that may be useful for readers. Levon Aronian was born in Yerevan on 6 October 1982. He first caught attention internationally when he became under 12 world champion in 1994. In 2002 he won the Under 20 World Junior championship. Aronian joined the chess elite in 2005 with his win at the 2005 World Cup. His major tournament victories (at that stage) include Wijk aan Zee (4 times), the Moscow Tal Memorial (3 times), Linares ( 2006), the 2011 FIDE Grand Prix and the Alekhine Memorial in Paris and St Petersburg.

    Magnus Carlsen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the Norwegian chess player. For people with a similar name, see Magnus Carlsson (disambiguation). Magnus Carlsen Magnus Carlsen, 2008 Full name Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen Country Norway 30 November 1990 (age 19) Born Tønsberg, Norway Title Grandmaster 2826 FIDE rating (No. 1 in the September 2010 FIDE World Rankings) Peak rating 2826 (July 2010) Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen (born 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian chess Grandmaster and chess prodigy currently ranked number one in the world on the official FIDE rating list. He has achieved the second highest ever rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov.[1][2] On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third-youngest Grandmaster in history. On 1 January 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.[3] Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history[4] and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 years 10 months at the time, by far the youngest to do so. Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.
