Presentazione Standard Di Powerpoint Un uomo solo al comando…è così che si dice di solito o sbaglio ? Ed in questo caso è quanto mai approppiato infatti ieri nel 5° turno il GM Sergey Fedorchuk ha sconfitto l’IM Vladimir Sveshnikov prendendo cosi’ la testa del torneo Master con 4,5 su 5 partite. L’impressione è che non sarà facile per i suoi avversari fermarne la corsa…ma questa potrebbe anche essere come una bella «gufata» di un organizzatore che auspica un torneo incerto fino all’ultimo turno Dicevamo dunque della classifica del Master: al primo posto Fedorchuk con 4,5 seguono con 4 punti IM Genocchio Daniele, GM Alon Greenfeld , GM Evgeny Sveshnikov, IM Castineira Reinaldo, GM Jozsef Horvath e l’IM Narayanan Srinath. Oggi scontro al vertice fra Fedorchuk e Greenfeld, J. Horvath opposto a Genocchio, Narayanan contro Reinaldo e infine E. Sveshnikov contro un Alberto David attardato da alcune patte nelle ultime partite. Qui di seguito link diretti a classifica, abbinamenti del 6° turno e partite in pgn relative ai primi 5 turni: www.scacchisticamilanese.com/index.php?q=bratto/bratto-2011-risultati-magistrale www.scacchisticamilanese.com/bratto2011partite/partite.zip Primo degli italiani Daniele Genocchio, il quale dopo due ottime patte ottenute coi GM Greenfeld e il GM E. Sveshnikov (vedi foto ) ieri ha sconfitto il GM ungherese Csaba Horvath ed oggi se la vedrà con il di lui fratello Joszef Horvath in una sfida dal sapore ormai della faida familiare Open A abbiamo quattro giocatori che guidano con 3,5, si tratta di Simone Reale, Gianmario Petrone, Lorenzo Cocconcelli e Matteo Migliorini. Inevitabili gli scontri diretti che chiariranno meglio la situazione , attenzione ad un possibile rientro di alcuni degli inseguitori a 3 (da parte mia punterei il mio «cent» su Lorenzo Razzano). Open B continua la corsa a punteggio pieno di Silvia Guerini con 4 punti su 4 partite (unica nell’intera manifestazione ad essere a punteggio pieno!)seguono Lucio Matania e Cristiano Caffarelli con 3,5. Troppo presto per fare il punto della situazione per Open C e Under 16 ci dedichiamo a segnalarvi la lezione teorica tenuta in data odierna dal GM Sinisa Drazic e dal qui presente Matteo Zoldan che ha visto la consueta buona affluenza di pubblico….sapete quando un evento di questo tipo si svolge in contemporanea con un torneo di tennis con l’Wimbledon della Val Seriana è possibile che ne ne rimanga offuscato… Ieri sera invece torneo di mangia e passa con 20 coppie partecipanti, età media da teenager ma affermazione ai primi due posti delle coppie Ranfagni (foto)/Giuliani e Zoldan/Messina (tranquillizziamo subito mogli e genitori, il buon affiatamento era solo a livello scacchistico…) entrambe hanno concluso con 6 vittorie su 7 partite ma la vittoria è stata prima sia per bucholz sia grazie alla vittoria nello scontro diretto. Dopo questa breve sezione dedicata alla sala torneo e a due fra i cinque arbitri che compongono lo staff arbitrale proseguiamo ora la consueta intervista «50 just checking» : oggi tocca ad un GM che occupa indubbiamente un posto nella storia degli scacchi, si tratta del GM lettone Evgeny Sveshnikov. Se leggerete attentamente le sue risposte potrete trovare sprazzi di quella disincantata ironia che lo caratterizza.

Komodo is a chess program that is dierent from the rest. Its search makes greater use of extensions than any other top engine, which allows Komodo to often see deeper than any other engine, even if it is displaying a slightly lower search depth. The evaluation diers from its main rivals because it represents a blend of both automated tuning and the judgment of grandmaster and computer expert Larry Kaufman. Fully automated evaluations are subject to rather large sample error, and applying some chess judgment appears to be benecial, both in results and in the reasonableness of reported evaluations.

You will have to put effort into the book and only the major defenses are covered as White.
