  • 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.

  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017 Monday 23 January - Thursday 2 February 2017 Round 3 Report: Thursday 26 January 2017 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) How to Draw with Your Dad Nine players – Mickey Adams (England), Nikita Vitiugov, Vadim Zvjaginsev (both Russia), Sam Shankland (USA), Eduardo Iturrizaga (Venezuela), Emil Sutovsky (Israel), Maxime Lagarde (France), Kacper Piorun (Poland) and Ju Wenjun (China) – share the lead on 3/3 after another tough round of chess in the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters at the Caleta Hotel in Gibraltar. The elite 2700+ players are still finding it very hard to impose themselves on the group of players rated 200 or 300 points below. Veselin Topalov picked up this point in his master class on Wednesday, stating that these days there is little or no difference in the quality of the first 10 to 15 opening moves between 2300-rated players and the elite. So the big names have to work harder to get their points, perhaps adopting a Carlsen-style approach, avoiding long, forcing lines in the opening and outplaying their opponents in endgames. This has been exemplified in Gibraltar by the only two 2700+ rated players to figure in the group on 3/3, namely Adams and Vitiugov, who have been grinding out the wins in long games. Mickey Adams ground out a long win against Bogdan-Daniel Deac (Romania) Perhaps the most enjoyable game for the audience in round three was the battle between Peter Svidler and Nitzan Steinberg. The 18-year-old IM from Israel has made quite an impression in Gibraltar, drawing with the second seed Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and now the sixth seed.

  • Les Années 1977 – 1985
    Histoire Les années 1977 – 1985 Biel International Chess Festival Les années 1977 – 1985 Bienne passe à la vitesse supérieure, organisant désormais des tournois prestigieux de Grands maîtres, le premier à inscrire son nom étant Anthony Miles, qui doublera même la mise six ans après. Le Festival consolide sa place de choix dans le milieu international et accueille plusieurs des meilleurs Grands maîtres du monde, à commencer par Viktor Kortchnoï au sommet de sa gloire en tant que vice‐champion du monde. En 1985, le Palais des Congrès accueille son deuxième tournoi interzonal en moins d’une décennie. 1977 : premier tournoi de Grands maîtres Pour souffler ses dix bougies, fort de la renommée acquise un an plus tôt avec l’interzonal et pour continuer sur cette voie, Bienne se lance dans son premier tournoi sur invitation de Grands maîtres. On repasse de trois à deux semaines de duels. Bien sûr, impossible d’aligner autant de grands noms qu’en 1976, mais chaque après‐midi, ce sont sept Grands maîtres, six maîtres internationaux et un champion suisse qui s’affrontent dans ce tournoi fermé du Festival. Anthony Miles, premier Britannique à avoir obtenu le titre de Grand maître, couronné champion du monde juniors à Manille en 1974, est alors en pleine ascension. Il arrive à Bienne avec 2555 points Elo, auréolé de sa récente victoire au très fort tournoi IBM d’Amsterdam, le plus coté remporté par un Anglais au XX siècle. Il se montrera à la hauteur au Palais des Congrès et devient le premier vainqueur d’un tournoi de Grands maîtres au Palais des Congrès.

Efter Motala 1976, Linköping 1984 och Norrköping 1988 var det i år dags för Linköping igen. O Som man kunde vänta blev det ett bra arrangemang i Linköpings sporthall, där 749 star- ter noterades. Det var ett 50-tal färre än i fjol men ingen siffra att klaga på.

  • Amir Bagheri... La Bonne Surprise !
    Amir Bagheri... La bonne surprise ! National : Andreï Sokolov : Une victoire qui fait du bien ! National féminin : N. Benmesbah joue et gagne n° 3 EDITO par Bachar KOUATLY, Directeur de publication d’Europe-Echecs l y a 411 ans, Henri IV était sacré Roi de France à Chartres. Le jeu des rois dans une ville Iroyale, des conditions optimales pour tous, c’est cela une grande fête du jeu d’échecs. Quand le député-maire de Chartres, Jean-Pierre Gorges, passionné réel du jeu d’échecs et stratège dans sa belle ville, décide d’accueillir, il s’en donne les moyens pour le plus grand plaisir des participants. Le professionnalisme de l’organisateur et la bonne humeur ambiante qui règne me comble de joie. Quand le monde des échecs est réuni de telle manière, il est capable d’offrir à tous ses afficionados un spectacle de qualité. Le National et le National féminin nous offre déjà de belles joutes. Maxime-Vachier-Lagrave démarre le tournoi avec 2,5 points sur 3. Son titre de Grand-Maître qui sera décerné la semai- ne prochaine à Dresde (Allemagne) coïncidera-t-il avec une surprise de taille lors du cham- pionnat de France ? Enfin, il ne faut pas oublier de remercier tous les partenaires car il est important d’avoir l’esprit que sans eux il n’aurait pas été possible d’offrir le même confort à tous, d’inviter le légendaire Karpov, et de commencer à vous faire découvrir ou redécouvrir ceux qui ont mar- qué l’histoire des championnats de France depuis 1914.
