We worked hard to collect the best theoretical moments in this period, selecting games from tournaments like the Dortmund Super Tournament, the Biel Super Tournament, the Tal Memorial… Our goal is to give you theoretical knowledge that takes you from a basic level to a level where only very few players in the world would have a chance to compete with You! (If you do remember the lines, of course). ON THE COVER We are in the game Volokitin–Eljanov from Ukraine Championship 2012 in Sveshnikov opening, where White does fi nd a new way with 11.c4!? to compli- cate things in a position, which already almost been analyzed till completely “dry”. We can be sure to see very soon more games on this topic. CONTENT OF CE SEPTEMBER 2012 Th e content of the CE Septermber 2012 issue remains as usual: commented games (Kamil Miton, Borki Predojevic, Arkadij Naiditsch) + an endgame sec- tion (by Etienne Bacrot) + a puzzle section (by Csaba Balogh). From the openings point of view: Finally, the King’s Indian fans will have a blast because we analyzed quite a few important games played on this open- ing. Of course, we didn’t miss the main topics in openings like the Sicilian, Slav or Catalan (with a very important game from Dortmund 2012, Kramnik- Leko). A FEW GENERAL WORDS TO THE CE READERS Sometimes it’s hard to see and we might forget the hundreds of hours of prepa- ration that the Top players spend before playing each game. A short and “bor- ing” draw can oft en contain a lot of new information and great play. Th at’s why the most beautiful and spectacular analyses are left in the shadow for the usual spectator. With deep opening analysis, we are trying to show You the “behind the scenes” of the novelty, give You our opinion about it, and what’s most important, give You directions for further home analysis -where the right path is usually not an easy one to fi nd. FUTURE Already now we can announce that the next CE issue, “CE January 2013”, is going to probably be one of the most interesting ones we have ever published chess-wise. Events like the Chess Olympiad, the Fide Grand Prix, Bilbao and the London Super Tournament, with all the best players of the world partici- pating, give a huge load of new chess material from which we can harvest the best theoretical moments and analyze them in 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.
