I would like to mention that the whole family contributed to this book. We are also extremely thankful to our friends, who, thanks to their previous experience, have introduced us to the process of creating chess books, with their invaluable advice and ideas. Considering the abundance of material regarding this topic that was gathered, we decided to make this book only the first, lower level of the “Positional sacrifice” edition. My father and I worked hard to make sure that the new book will be as interesting as the first one, but also more adapted to the wider audience. -

Unfortunately, the denial of a player to play a game was not the only negative in the story. The action was promoted at the highest level, the player becomes an example who fulfilled his dream to meet the country leader and the message of hate was sent through chess is clear enough. There is a view till now with many supporters, even in official positions, that tolerating these actions, we protect and give the chance to more people to play chess as also more states to support financially our sport. ECU Secretary General Theodoros Tsorbatzoglou But is this our role in chess? When we adjust in silence our rules, we do not the same time justify and these policies? We do not encourage, political leaders or chief priests of any religion or extreme groups to apply more rules for us and promote their hate policies through sports? European Chess Union has its seat in Switzerland, Address: Rainweidstrasse 2, CH-6333, Hunenberg If we wish a "fair play" in chess, is not enough to strengthen our anti- See, Switzerland cheating measures. We should maintain an equal opportunities policy and European Chess Union is an independent discriminatory free environment, adopting related policies. -
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. -

Already Martin’s love for chess and in particular the openings was very clear. Being, at least in those days, very similar myself, we got to know each other and since 2010 we’ve been doing quite a bit of opening work together. Having worked on and off with Martin for around five years, I’m still regularly fascinated by his endless creativity. In posi- tions where I think that I’ve looked at everything, he usually comes up with moves and ideas that I would never have found even with the aid of a strong computer. -
