Autor: FIDE Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:13 pm Comienza la primavera del ajedrez Abril y mayo serán dos meses de mucho ajetreo para los principales jugadores cubanos. En casa tendremos el Memorial Capablanca y la gran final del Campeonato Nacional Publicado: Sábado 07 abril 2012 | 08:51:01 pm. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Un fuerte compromiso tiene ante sí el Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2730), quien participa desde hoy en la fuerte Liga Rusa de Clubes de Ajedrez. Este torneo, pactado a siete rondas por el sistema suizo, le brinda la oportunidad de topar con varios de los mejores trebejistas del mundo, algo que siempre viene bien. Además, se trata de una competencia por equipos con ritmo parecido al que tendrá la Olimpiada Mundial de agosto próximo en Turquía. En la Liga Rusa se inscribieron 20 selecciones, integradas por ocho jugadores, aunque solo jugarán seis en cada ronda. Leinier aparece en el San Petersburgo, precisamente uno de los más fuertes. Sus compañeros de batería serán el armenio Sergei Movsesian (2702), el ucraniano Zahar Efimenko (2695) y cinco rusos: Peter Svidler (2744), Nikita Vitiugov (2709), Vadim Zvjaginsev (2683), Ildar Khairullin (2626) y Maxim Matlakov (2632).

Extra Pawn on the Side Check out these bestselling titles from USCFSales.com: The ending with material equality on one side, and an extra pawn on the other, is one of the most important, and also one of the most difficult segments of the general rook endgame. You will find a systematic exposition of the theory in my Endgame Manual. What I would like to bring to your attention here are two instructive examples of this theme, which will also be included in my forthcoming book, Endgame Tragicomedies. Kashtanov – Inarkiev The St. Petersburg, 2004 Instructor Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual Mark Dvoretsky by Mark Dvoretsky W About a year before this game was played, some revolutionary changes occurred in the theory of rook endings with an extra pawn on the opposite wing. I acquainted my pupil, Ernesto Inarkiev, with these new discoveries, which his opponent in this game knew nothing about (the Russian-language version of the Endgame Manual would not be Victor Bologan: published until two years later). Selected Games 1985-2004 Play through and download by Victor Bologan the games from Inarkiev’s advantage in knowledge and understanding of this position proved effective: he won an objectively drawn ending. To be sure, the ChessCafe.com in the Read an excerpt here. DGT Game Viewer. defense was not of the highest quality, even considering what we used to think about this ending. The Complete DGT Product Line 42 Ra8? 42 Ke3 would have been much better. In such situations, the rook should keep an eye on the f7-pawn, and be ready to capture it as soon as the black king moves toward the opposite wing. -

Dvoretsky Lessons 75
The Instructor The Power of Subtle, Quiet Moves The 2006 Championship of Russia (Upper League) was a triumph for the new generation of Russian chess: all seven qualifying spots to the Superfinal (a 12- player round robin scheduled for December) went to young grandmasters – the oldest of them just twenty-two. Behind them came such well-known, highly experienced and highly-rated players as Vladimir Malakhov, Alexei Dreev, and Alexander Khalifman. I am happy for the young players’ successes – in part, because the great majority of them are very congenial, smart and well-behaved. Uncompromising fighters over-the-board, in life they maintain excellent relations with one another, without The envying anyone’s accomplishments. I have never heard of dirty dealings or tricks directed against their comrades – and oh, how many such stories could have been Instructor told about Soviet-era grandmasters! Mark Dvoretsky In the old days, I would regularly assist my students at their tournaments, while also paying attention to their opponents play. Naturally, I would first share the results of my observations with my students, but I also often shared my conclusions in print or in personal meetings with interested players. These days, I hardly ever go to tournaments, and coming up with an objective opinion based upon watching someone’s play on the Internet is pretty tough – that is, of course, if you don’t spend much time every day analyzing the games as they finish. This is why I don’t wish to write anything about the creative achievements of those who played in the Upper League: nobody needs another shallow impression – and sometimes, such things can actually do harm. -
