Nº 2 MEMORIA DE LAS ACTIVIDADES REALIZADAS. AÑO 2014 FEDERACIÓN AJEDREZ DE LA REGIÓN DE MURCIA C.I.F G-30200356 1) Clubes, Deportistas, Técnicos y Jueces/Árbitros a) Actividades realizadas encaminadas a incrementar su número. -La Federación de Ajedrez de la Región de Murcia, a pesar de no haber dispuesto del importe metálico previsto que otras veces dispuso, debido a la crisis existente y que nos azota en nuestros días y no solo al deporte, sino también a casi todos los sectores de nuestra sociedad, realizó todos los campeonatos autonómicos previstos en su calendario, tras un gran esfuerzo y un minucioso plan de reparto y distribución de los ingresos de la mejor manera posible, para intentar conseguir paliar la carencia de fondos, a la que nos hemos visto abocados en estos años. La Federación de Ajedrez día a día y desde todos sus estamentos hace un esfuerzo para intentar implantar el ajedrez en todos los municipios de nuestra región, dando a conocer y divulgando la práctica y conocimiento de este deporte de la siguiente manera: -Ayuda y asesoramiento técnico para la creación de nuevos clubes de ajedrez en localidades de nuestra región donde no existían o revitalización los existentes y que no funcionaban. Poniendo en marcha el C.A. Caravaca con el asesoramiento de esta Federación, lo que hace que llegue el ajedrez al noroeste, zona donde no había ningún club activo. -Ayuda a los clubes que lo han solicitado, poniendo a su servicio personal técnico de esta FARM, para ayudar a los mismos en aquello para lo que se nos ha requerido. -

Grunden lades vid en sammankomst i Prag i fjol. Men allt är ingalunda frid och fröjd, tvärtom tycks situ- ationen vara mer förvirrad än någonsin. OQO Meningen är att vi i år skall få två semifinalmatcher, en mellan den regerande FIDE- världsmästaren Ruslan Ponomariov, Ukraina och exvärldsmästaren Garri Kasparov, Ryss- land samt en mellan Einsteingruppens världsmästare Vladimir Kramnik, Ryssland och vin- naren av fjolårets kandidatturnering i Dortmund, Péter Lékö, Ungern. -

Neoclassical Chess Madrid
I Torneo de Ajedrez ‘Neoclassical Chess’ neoclassicalchess.com PRENSA: 677 057 160 (Jaime Fresno) [email protected] LAS PARTIDAS ARRANCAN EN LA CUARTA JUGADA DE LAS BLANCAS El revolucionario ‘Neoclassical Chess’ se estrena con los mejores de España en el torneo de ajedrez más fuerte del siglo en Madrid Ocho maestros del ajedrez español, encabezados por el número 1 nacional, Paco Vallejo, estrenan este sábado 9 de mayo en Madrid –Hotel Holiday Inn-Bernabéu, 10:00 horas- el ‘Neoclassical Chess’, el torneo cerrado que va a llevar a la práctica una evolución del juego sin precedentes en las grandes competiciones Una aplicación informática escogerá las tres primeras jugadas de cada ajedrecista de entre las más de 200 líneas de juego que se pueden llegar a utilizar en competición , de modo que las partidas comenzarán en el cuarto movimiento de las piezas blancas. Se trata de una innovadora apuesta por la creatividad y el talento, frente a la memorización de las aperturas (primeros movimientos de una partida de ajedrez) que a menudo convierten el inicio del juego en algo maquinal. Gabriel Fdez. de Bobadilla, es el inventor que firma ´Neoclassical Chess’, además del promotor y organizador del torneo magistral que va a poner en práctica esta evolución del ajedrez en Madrid, con la élite nacional aceptando lo excepcional de una innovación que nace con vocación de hacerse un sitio dentro de las competiciones ajedrecísticas nacionales e internacionales. Gabriel Fdez. de Bobadilla, doctor Ingeniero en Matemática Aplicada e Ingeniería Industrial, diferencia su idea de otras, por ejemplo, de la innovación del Ajedrez 960 que pretendió impulsar el gran Bobby Fischer (sorteo previo de la colocación inicial de las piezas), “porque Neoclassical Chess es respetuoso con la historia del juego . -
2013-Tradewise-Gibra
Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2013 Monday 21 January - Thursday 31 January 2013 MASTERS ROUNDS 7: 29 JANUARY 2013 NIQUITITA IS TOP OF THE CHARTS John Saunders reports: At long last we have a sole leader. Nikita Vitiugov outplayed Kiril Georgiev in a long technical struggle in which the Russian was a pawn up and eventually snared his opponent in some endgame tactics. He leads with 6½/7, ahead of Le Quang Liem, Gata Kamsky and the resurgent Nigel Short, who scored his fifth successive win. Vitiugov’s win turned on a suspect rook move right at the end. Gibraltar Masters 2013, Round 7 N.Vitiugov (2694) - K.Georgiev (2643) 68...¦a6? A small but fatal slip by the older player. After 68...¦a4, if White plays 69 ¢g3, Black has 69...¥e6 when White still has to prove he is winning. 69 ¢g3! This is pretty good but analysis engines find 69 ¤b5!? which threatens to invade the black king’s inner sanctum via d6 and e8 and give mate. Then 69...f6 70 ¤c7 fxe5+ 71 ¢g3 wins material for White. The lines look rather inhuman, however. 69...¥e6 69...¥f1 70 ¤f5+ ¢h7 71 ¤d6 sets up the mating net indicated above. 70 ¦d6! ¥c8 Black has the choice of the devil and the deep blue sea. 70...¦xd6 71 exd6 ¥d7 72 ¤b3 ¢f6 73 ¤c5 ¥f5 74 ¢f4 ¥c2 75 ¢e3 looks hopeless in the long run. 71 ¤f5+! ¢h7 72 ¤e7 ¥b7 72...¦xd6 73 exd6 ¥e6 74 ¢f4 f6 75 ¢e4 ¢g7 76 ¢d4 is an easy win. -

News Release Monday 12Th September 2011
News release Monday 12th September 2011 LONDON CHESS CLASSIC 2011 The timetable for the third London Chess Classic has been announced. The strongest tournament in the history of British chess will be complemented by a chess festival with tournaments for all levels and of course free chess coaching for schools. The tournament runs from 3-12 December 2011 and falls on two weekends so we expect even more spectators as well as more players in the FIDE Open as amateur players will only have to take one full week off work. It also means there will be two sets of weekend tournaments and blitz tournaments every evening. Viktor Korchnoi has agreed to come back again as guest of honour and will give two simultaneous displays. We will have at least one Women’s all-play-all. There will be training courses for chess teachers and for those who would like to become chess teachers, both organised by the charity Chess in Schools and Communities (CSC). Since the last London Chess Classic, CSC has expanded and works in 70 schools in 13 towns and cities in England and Wales. See www.chessinschools.co.uk The London Chess Classic now comes under the Chess in Schools and Communities umbrella and there will be five days of free school activities. Each day, schools can bring children to learn from top coaches and play in a tournament or a simultaneous display. There will also be a chess arbiter’s training course, and on the rest day, Wednesday 7 December, a chess cultural day with film screenings, lectures and more simultaneous displays. -

1 East Anglian Daily Times – Columns July-December 2010
East Anglian Daily Times – columns July-December 2010 Saturday 3 July 2010 Good news, bad news and disappointing news about the County By Kevin O'Connell Championships. The good news is that two teams are through to the final. In the Under 160 (u1880) Suffolk thrashed Leicestershire 10-6 in the semi-final and will meet Yorkshire. In the U100 (u1400), Essex beat Lancashire 7.5-4.5 and will play either Yorkshire or Warwickshire in the final. The bad news is that four teams lost their quarter-final matches. Essex were particularly unlucky, missing out twice on board count tie-break. In the Open Essex lost 7-9 to Lancashire. Essex drew 8-8 against Nottinghamshire in the U180 (u2040) group and against Yorkshire in the U160 but went out on the chess equivalent of penalties. The Suffolk team attempting to defend their U140 (u1720) title sank 6.5-9.5 to Hampshire. The disappointing news was Essex's failure to progress in the U160 event, the tie-break decision depriving us of an Essex- The diagram position is from Suffolk final. the game Maia Chiburdanidze (GM, 2514) - Martha Fierro (IM, Congratulations to all the members of the two victorious teams, 2363), FIDE Grand Prix, Jermuk and good luck to them all for the finals in Leicester next Saturday. 2010.
