Curriculum Vitae Alexander Ipatov was born in Ukraine on July 16th 1993. He was two times Vice- Champion of the Ukraine among boys under 10 years (2003), under 14 (2007), under 16 and 20 (2008, he was just 14 at the time!). He is a Master of Sports (Ukraine) and a participant of two World Championships under 10 years (2003, 11th place), under 14 years (2007, 8th place). His first major feat nd was the 2 place at the International Chess tournament Le Mans (France, 2008). My Connection However, Alexander Ipatov first got on the Back in November 2010 Anton Mihajlov radar of international top chess when he from Chessdom asked me if I was interest to joined as commentator of Chessdom.com for train a young and ambitious junior.

At the time he had 2497 FIDE agreed on the details and I started to work rating, but bravely took on the task that has with Alex Ipatov via Internet on a monthly, previously been given to renowned chess regular base.

He is always gentle, thirstily to learn and ready to climb the Olympus mountain of top-players. I believe that this success should be mainly dedicated to his father who suddenly passed- away two months ago by a heart-attack. I remember that on the day of his death we had a scheduled lesson and Alex called me and asked me if we could postpone it… Even in one of his saddest moments of his life his gentle behaviour didn’t disappear… The Championship Alex played quite well and he didn’t lose a single game, scoring 7 wins and 6 draws. Before the tournament, in one of our conversations, I told him that experience has proved that if he would lose no game then his chances for a medal were rather high… I had my own experience on this subject, Games as back in 1985 I participated in the same I think that Alex was in trouble in only one tournament, scoring 8½/13, with 4 wins and of his games - here it is: 9 draws. Well, this was enough for just missing the medal, as I finished 4th, ahead □ Ipatov Alexander (2577) of Anand, Ivanchuk and others. ■ Ter-Sahakyan Samvel (2567) I am of the opinion that if you want to D45 Athens (9.2) 11.08.2012 guide on the right path, you have to have 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Nc3 your own experience on the subject and I Nbd7 6.Qc2 Bd6 7.b3 0–0 8.Be2 b6 9.0–0 think that this helped Alex as well.

London has become a happy hunting ground for Kramnik. Not only has the former World Champion been a regular at the London Chess Classic, winning the 2011 edition, and runner-up twice (behind Magnus Carlsen, the World No.1, on both occasions), in 2009 and 2012, but in 2000, London was also the venue for his historic world title win over Garry Kasparov. Earlier this week in Tromsø, Kramnik showed he’s still a major force in the game with his easy victory in the four-game Fide World Cup final over the current Russian champion, Dmitry Andreikin; that will see both qualify for next year’s Candidates’ tournament. And Kramnik’s overall performance in the World Cup, also saw the former World Champion once again reclaiming the World No. 3 spot in the September Fide rating list published this week. Kramnik now joins World Champion Vishy Anand and the US No.1, Hikaru Nakamura as the the third player to have confirmed they will play in the 5th London Chess Classic.

    NEWSLETTER 158 (May 29, 2014) ECU PRESIDENT SILVIO DANAILOV MEETS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE ITALIAN CHESS FEDERATION, MR. GIANPIETRO PAGNONCELLI On 21st of May, 2014 in Milan, the ECU President Silvio Danailov met with the Presidеnt of the Italian Chess Federation, Mr. Gianpietro Pagnoncelli. In a pleasant conversation at the office of the Italian Chess Federation they discussed the work done by Silvio Danailov and his team during the last 4 years. Silvio Danailov expressed his special thanks to Mr. Pagnoncelli for his great contribution in mobilization of the Italian members of the European Parliament during the campaign for adoption of the ECU program “Chess in School”. As we have already informed you the Italian MEP, Mr. Mario Mauro, was among the most active deputies, who supported the efforts of Mr. Danailov. Both Presidents discussed also the new joint project between ECU and UNESCO, “Chess as UNESCO intangible world heritage”. Silvio Danailov proposed one member of the commission, which will be responsible for this topic, to be elected by the Italian Chess Federation. Mr. Pagnoncelli said that this will be decided on the next ICF Board meeting. ECU President congrtulated Mr. Gianpietro Pagnoncelli for his sucessful 10-year career as President of the Italian Chess Federation, at the beginning of which Italy had just 2 grandmasters. Now ICF can be proud with 11 GMs, one of them, Fabiano Caruana is currently No 5 in the world. Silvio Danailov congratulated Mr. Pagnoncelli also for the acceptance of the ICF for a member of the Italian Olympic Committee rightly aloud. This achievement happened for the first time in the history of chess.

  • Grandmaster Opening Preparation Jaan Ehlvest
    Grandmaster Opening Preparation By Jaan Ehlvest Quality Chess www.qualitychess.co.uk Preface This book is about my thoughts concerning opening preparation. It is not a strict manual; instead it follows my personal experience on the subject of openings. There are many opening theory manuals available in the market with deep computer analysis – but the human part of the process is missing. This book aims to fill this gap. I tried to present the material which influenced me the most in my chess career. This is why a large chapter on the Isolated Queen’s Pawn is present. These types of opening positions boosted my chess understanding and helped me advance to the top. My method of explaining the evolution in thinking about the IQP is to trace the history of games with the Tarrasch Defence, from Siegbert Tarrasch himself to Garry Kasparov. The recommended theory moves may have changed in the 21st century, but there are many positional ideas that can best be understood by studying “ancient” games. Some readers may find this book answers their questions about which openings to play, how to properly use computer evaluations, and so on. However, the aim of this book is not to give readymade answers – I will not ask you to memorize that on move 23 of a certain line you must play ¤d5. In chess, the ability to analyse and arrive at the right conclusions yourself is the most valuable skill. I hope that every chess player and coach who reads this book will develop his or her understanding of opening preparation.
