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.

  • Noruego Magnus Carlsen Vence Al Cubano Leinier Domínguez
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Noruego Magnus Carlsen vence al cubano Leinier Domínguez El jovencito acabó con el invicto del Gran Maestro antillano que con 5,5 puntos comparte el tercer puesto del certamen Publicado: Jueves 29 enero 2009 | 01:16:15 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Después de negociar nueve tablas consecutivas, el jovencito noruego Magnus Carlsen (2776), a quien llaman con toda justicia el Mozart del ajedrez, se inventó una genialidad y acabó con el invicto del Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2717) en el supertorneo Corus de ajedrez. Ya habíamos dicho que Leinier debía andar con pies de plomo porque su rival llevaba las piezas blancas y con ellas suele ser muy peligroso. Y sucedió lo peor: nuestro muchacho se metió en apuros de tiempo y acabó cediendo un punto precioso. Algo parecido había sucedido en la Copa del Mundo de Khanty-Mansiysk 2007. Entonces Carlsen también venció a Leinier con blancas y lo eliminó en octavos de final. Pero esta vez se trata de otro tipo de torneo, donde una derrota no es el fin del mundo. De hecho, Leinier se mantiene en la parte alta de la tabla con 5,5 puntos y comparte el tercer puesto con el propio Carlsen, el azerbaijano Teimour Radjabov (2761) y el eslovaco Sergei Movsesian (2751). Medio paso por delante marcha el benjamín ucraniano Sergey Karjakin (2706), en tanto el armenio Levon Aronian (2750) se quedó solo en la cima tras superar este miércoles al británico Michael Adams (2712). Fue la tercera victoria de Aronian en el certamen y la segunda consecutiva, lo cual le permitió conservar el invicto —solo él y Carlsen no han perdido— y estirar su acumulado a 6,5 unidades.

    Magnus Carlsen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the Norwegian chess player. For people with a similar name, see Magnus Carlsson (disambiguation). Magnus Carlsen Magnus Carlsen, 2008 Full name Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen Country Norway 30 November 1990 (age 19) Born Tønsberg, Norway Title Grandmaster 2826 FIDE rating (No. 1 in the September 2010 FIDE World Rankings) Peak rating 2826 (July 2010) Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen (born 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian chess Grandmaster and chess prodigy currently ranked number one in the world on the official FIDE rating list. He has achieved the second highest ever rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov.[1][2] On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third-youngest Grandmaster in history. On 1 January 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.[3] Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history[4] and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 years 10 months at the time, by far the youngest to do so. Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.
