  • Players Biel International Chess Festival
    2009 Players Biel International Chess Festival Players Boris Gelfand Israel, 41 yo Elo: 2755 World ranking: 9 Date and place of birth: 24.6.1968, in Minsk (Belarus) Lives in: Rishon-le-Zion (Israel) Israel ranking: 1 Best world ranking: 3 (January 1991) In Biel GMT: winner in 1993 (Interzonal) and 2005. Other results: 3rd (1995, 1997, 2001), 4th (2000) Two Decades at the Top of Chess This is not a comeback, since Boris Gelfand never left the chess elite in the last twenty years. However, at the age of 41, the Israeli player has reached a new peak and is experiencing a a third wind. He is back in the world Top-10, officially as number 9 (in fact, a virtual number 5, if one takes into account his latest results that have not yet been recorded). He had not been ranked so high since 2006. Age does not seem to matter for this player who is unanimously appreciated in the field, both for his technical prowess and his personality. In Biel, he will not only be the senior player of the Grandmaster tournament, but also the top ranked and the Festival’s most loyal participant. Since his first appearance in 1993, he has come seven times to Biel; it is precisely at this Festival that he earned one of his greatest victories: in 1993, he finished first in the Interzonal Tournament (which, by then, was the only qualifying competition for the world championship), out of 73 participating grandmasters (including Anand and Kramnik). His victory in Biel against Anand is mentioned in his book, My Most Memorable Games.

  • Sylvia Collas Change La Donne !
    Sylvia Collas change la donne ! National : Première victoire pour Laurent ! National féminin : Benmesbah 4e ! n° 8 EDITO par Eric BIRMINGHAM LE JEU D’ÉCHECS EST UN SPECTACLE. u début des années 90, j’avais participé aux commentaires des Trophées «Immopar» et ceux de «Intel». Ces tournois rapides, composés des meilleurs joueurs du monde, Aétaient fantastiques, mais extrêmement coûteux. Sans un sponsoring important, il était difficile de proposer des spectacles échiquéens pour le grand public. En 1998, afin de mieux visualiser leur épreuve phare au Cap d’Agde, Pascal Lazarre et Bob Textoris ont accepté ma proposition de mettre de nouveaux outils informatiques en place. Un an après, la petite société «OrganisEchecs» (composée de Joël Postollec son frère Régis et E.B.) était née. Son but : aider les organisateurs à montrer le jeu en temps réel, non seu- lement au public présent mais aussi aux Internautes. Mais pour grandir, il fallait développer et produire notre propre programme. Marc-François Baudot, quadruple champion du monde des programmes amateurs avec son «Virtual Chess» nous rejoignait. Grâce à lui, le programme de vision en salle est depuis longtemps capable d’enregistrer et d’afficher 4 coups par seconde. Et notre vaillant ingénieur ne cesse de tra- vailler. Après chaque événement, nous discutons et le programme s’améliore. Les quatre membres d’OrganisEchecs aiment énormément le jeu d’échecs. En six années, nous avons été les témoins des affrontements entre les meilleurs joueurs de la planète. Ne croyez pas que cette entreprise soit facile, de nombreux paramètres entrent en ligne de compte : le matériel, la connectique, Internet, l’environnement … Parfois, un élément ou deux nous provoquent des sueurs froides.
