  • Uma Partida Miniatura Entre Dois Gms (Comentada)
    P4R.COM.BR O site do Xadrez - 1/6 Uma miniatura entre dois GMs Todos nós, simples mortais, temos uma idéia de que deve ser muito difícil jogar contra um GM e que eles raramente erram. Também achamos que eles fazem cálculos perfeitos e o simples fato de pensar em encarar um deles já nos assusta. Nada mais normal do que isso, mas por outro lado, também nada mais normal do que perceber que eles também são humanos e erram bastante. Mesmo em jogos onde dois GMs se enfrentam, a partida pode durar poucos lances por conta de um erro de cálculo de um jogador e terminar abruptamente. Claro que isso só vai acontecer quando os dois jogadores forem GMs, especialmente quando um deles for Vladimir Kramnik. O jogo transcrito abaixo ilustra muito bem o fato de que até os GMs podem sucumbir em poucos lances. Basta que do outro lado do tabuleiro também exista outro GM. A partida aconteceu no torneio Qatar Master Open 2014, o aberto que foi disputado no Qatar, na cidade de Doha, entre os dias 25 de novembro e 5 de dezembro de 2014. Num total de 154 participantes, com quase todos tendo titulação FIDE, onde não se separaram homens e mulheres, estavam vários jogadores e jogadoras de elite, entre eles Vladimir Kramnik, Anish Giri, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, entre outros. O torneio foi vencido pelo chinês Yu Yangyi (ELO 2705), que nas últimas rodadas venceu Giri e Kramnik, totalizando 7,5 pontos em nove rodadas. A segunda e terceira posição ficaram com Giri e Kramnik, respectivamente, com 7 pontos cada um.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.
