Chess Evolution May 2012.Indb Arkadij Naiditsch CHESS EVOLUTION Top analysis by Super GMs May 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS Key to symbols 5 Editorial Preface 7 Contributors 9 A11 B81 C135 D199 E281 Endgames 315 Puzzles 323 World Chess Championship 2012 331 EDITORIAL PREFACE 1 year has passed, a new one begins With the CE May 2012 edition we are entering into the top games of the year 2012. Th e book includes major tournaments like Wijk ann Zee, Gibraltar, Aerofl ot Open, the European Individual Championship, etc. Besides, we did not want the chess fans to wait until September for the World Chess Champi- onship match games between Viswanathan Anand and Boris Gelfand, so we included the WCC as well! We have new additions to our team GM Csaba Balogh — he is my good friend for many years (“Young Balogh Csaba” as I used to call him). You are going to hear more from GM Balogh, as we also started together the new project “Chess Evolution Weekly Newsletter” and who became the master of chess puzzles by writing his fi rst book Greatest 365 puzzles. From practical games of 2012. I hope You will enjoy his 20 puzzles in the current issue. My second introduction goes to Piotr Pielach. Th is is the new Chess Evolu- tion “pdf hero”. Piotr Pielach, who is now responsible for all Chess Evolution editing, managing his very diffi cult part in a great style and makes the reading of huge trees of lines as easy as it can only be. Content of CE May 2012 CE May 2012 keeps the usual structure: commented games, endgames, puzzles. But things have also changed, this year we are publishing only 3 editions (May 2012, September 2012, January 2013). 6 books a Year with about 350 pages of chess material is just too much. We also keep the general principle of trying to bring You the best chess mate- rial, real life practical examples, and to create an easy readable, user friendly book. Sometimes this is a diffi cult task due to the very wide trees of lines, but one thing is sure, with Chess Evolution You stay ahead of current chess theory. Complementary products Now there is also of “soft er” chess material from the Chess Evolution series. Th ere is the already mentioned “Chess Evolution Weekly Newsletter” in pdf and pgn formats, in July the GM Sakaev book “Complete Slav I” is coming to the market. At the same time GM Balogh and I made our fi rst DVD “Dirty Chess-classical time control” that shows 30 tricks that should be known dur- ing a practical game. Usually the saying goes “Th e fi rst pancake is always get- ting burned”, but we hope that ours will be tasty J. In the middle of August we are planning our second DVD “Dirty Chess-rapid and blitz” which is going to be a lot of fun as well. As usual I hope that our readers will fi nd a lot of new information from the CE May 2012 issue, and few easy wins according to the ideas inside the book!

  • Arkadij Naiditsch: “Why the German A-Team Will Not Participate in the Olympiad”
    Inhalt: Offener Brief Naiditsch (englisch) 111 Komentare Interview Fridman (dtsch.) von Johannes Fischer Stellungnahme Arkadij Naiditsch: “Why the German A-team will not participate in the Olympiad” 28 July 2010, 9.00 CET | Last modified: 9:41 | By Editors | Filed under: Reports | Tags: Open letter Due to financial problems and organizational failure by the German Chess Federation, the four German top players won’t play at the upcoming Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk. This is what Arkadij Naiditsch tries to make clear in an angry open letter which he sent to ChessVibes. The German top grandmaster doesn’t mince words. Open letter by GM Arkadij Naiditsch Why the German A-team will not participate in the 2010 Olympiad Cc: Prof. Dr. Von Weizsäcker This letter is not addressed to anybody directly. As a player of the German National team I would like to make some things clear about my hard working Federation and its President, Prof. Dr. Von Weizsäcker. Let’s start with the fact that nobody from the German A-team is going to participate in the Chess Olympiad this year. These players are Georg Meier, Jan Gustafsson, Daniel Fridman and me, Arkadij Naiditsch. Why? The easy answer is that the biggest chess federation in Europe, about 100,000 active members, couldn’t manage to find money to pay the players. So, the next question is “how could this happen”? This question is easy to answer as well: nobody in the federation has been doing anything for at least five years. The German Chess Federation has no sponsors at the moment, so the money is only coming from their members.

  • Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess Meeting 2007, Runde 1
    DORTMUNDER SPARKASSEN CHESS - MEETING 23. JUNI BIS 1. JULI 2007 --------------------------- Runde 1 -------------------------- 23.06.07 Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess-Meeting 2007 eröffnet Mamedjarow mit Auftakt-Sieg gegen Naiditsch (Dortmund, 23. Juni). Das Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess-Meeting 2007 ist eröffnet. Der Startschuss für die 35. Internationalen Dortmunder Schachtage fiel heute Nachmittag im Schauspielhaus vor voll besetzten Rängen. Jörg Busatta, Vorstandsmitglied des Titelsponsors Sparkasse Dortmund, Birgit Jörder, Bürgermeisterin der Stadt Dortmund sowie Prof. Dr. Robert von Weizsäcker, neuer Präsident des Deutschen Schachbundes, nahmen den Eröffnungszug in der Spitzenpartie zwischen Wladimir Kramnik und Viswanathan Anand vor. Bis 1. Juli werden auf der Bühne des Schauspielhauses acht Großmeister um den Titel kämpfen. Mit einer Wertigkeit der Kategorie 20 ist das Sparkassen Chess- Meeting 2007 in diesem Jahr das zweitstärkste klassische Turnier weltweit. Einen glänzenden Turnierstart erwischte Shakhriyar Mamedjarow. Bei seinem ersten Auftritt in Dortmund konnte der 22-Jährige aus Aserbaidschan gleich seinen ersten Sieg verbuchen. In der längsten Partie des Tages musste sich Lokalmatador Arkadij Naiditsch dem Weltranglisten-Sechsten nach knapp viereinhalb Stunden geschlagen geben. Die Spitzenbegegnung zwischen Weltmeister Wladimir Kramnik (Russland) und Viswanathan Anand (Indien) endete nach 35 Zügen mit einem Remis. In einem Damengambit besaß Kramnik mit den weißen Steinen im Partieverlauf leichte Stellungsvorteile, die jedoch nicht zum Sieg reichten. Jewgeni Alexejew (Russland), der sich durch seinen Sieg beim Aeroflot Open in Moskau für Dortmund qualifizierte, holte sich mit den schwarzen Steinen gegen WM-Teilnehmer Boris Gelfand (Israel) den ersten halben Punkt. Die erste Partie des Tages war nach knapp drei Stunden beendet: Der 16- jährige Dortmund-Debütant Magnus Carlsen (Norwegen) und Peter Leko (Ungarn), zweimaliger Sieger des Sparkassen Chess-Meetings, trennten sich in einer Spanischen Partie nach 29 Zügen unentschieden.

  • Magnus Carlsen Gana El Campeonato Mundial De Ajedrez Blitz
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Magnus Carlsen gana el Campeonato Mundial de ajedrez Blitz El Gran Maestro cubano Leinier Domínguez finalizó en el puesto 13 de la clasificación, por encima del lugar 15 que le correspondía según el Elo Publicado: Jueves 19 noviembre 2009 | 12:35:57 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Como casi todos presentíamos desde que terminó la segunda jornada, Magnus Carlsen (2801) ganó categóricamente el Campeonato Mundial de ajedrez Blitz (relámpago), concluido este miércoles en Moscú. El genio noruego acumuló 31 puntos de 42 posibles, con 28 victorias, seis tablas y solo ocho derrotas. Así, su entrenamiento junto al legendario Garry Kasparov sigue dando frutos. Por su parte, el Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2719) tuvo su mejor día y se despidió con 20 unidades, en el puesto 13 de la clasificación. Durante la última fecha, cuando decidió la resistencia y no la velocidad, Leinier ganó seis partidas, empató cuatro y perdió otras tantas. Veamos: Abrió con tablas frente al israelí Boris Gelfand (2758), cayó ante el benjamín ucraniano Sergey Karjakin (2723) y negoció un nuevo empate con el gran Anatoly Karpov (2619). Luego, derrotó al alemán Arkadij Naiditsch (2689) y dividió el punto con Carlsen, quien no pudo vencerlo esta vez. Después, cayó frente al indio Vishwanathan Anand (2788), pero superó en línea a recta a la húngara Judit Polgar (2680), al armenio Levon Aronian (2786) y al ruso Dmitry Jakovenko (2736). Seguidamente, firmó la paz con el húngaro Peter Leko (2752), pero fue derrotado por el ucraniano Vassily Ivanchuk (2739).
