  • 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.

  • Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess Meeting 2007, Runde 1
    DORTMUNDER SPARKASSEN CHESS - MEETING 23. JUNI BIS 1. JULI 2007 --------------------------- Runde 1 -------------------------- 23.06.07 Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess-Meeting 2007 eröffnet Mamedjarow mit Auftakt-Sieg gegen Naiditsch (Dortmund, 23. Juni). Das Dortmunder Sparkassen Chess-Meeting 2007 ist eröffnet. Der Startschuss für die 35. Internationalen Dortmunder Schachtage fiel heute Nachmittag im Schauspielhaus vor voll besetzten Rängen. Jörg Busatta, Vorstandsmitglied des Titelsponsors Sparkasse Dortmund, Birgit Jörder, Bürgermeisterin der Stadt Dortmund sowie Prof. Dr. Robert von Weizsäcker, neuer Präsident des Deutschen Schachbundes, nahmen den Eröffnungszug in der Spitzenpartie zwischen Wladimir Kramnik und Viswanathan Anand vor. Bis 1. Juli werden auf der Bühne des Schauspielhauses acht Großmeister um den Titel kämpfen. Mit einer Wertigkeit der Kategorie 20 ist das Sparkassen Chess- Meeting 2007 in diesem Jahr das zweitstärkste klassische Turnier weltweit. Einen glänzenden Turnierstart erwischte Shakhriyar Mamedjarow. Bei seinem ersten Auftritt in Dortmund konnte der 22-Jährige aus Aserbaidschan gleich seinen ersten Sieg verbuchen. In der längsten Partie des Tages musste sich Lokalmatador Arkadij Naiditsch dem Weltranglisten-Sechsten nach knapp viereinhalb Stunden geschlagen geben. Die Spitzenbegegnung zwischen Weltmeister Wladimir Kramnik (Russland) und Viswanathan Anand (Indien) endete nach 35 Zügen mit einem Remis. In einem Damengambit besaß Kramnik mit den weißen Steinen im Partieverlauf leichte Stellungsvorteile, die jedoch nicht zum Sieg reichten. Jewgeni Alexejew (Russland), der sich durch seinen Sieg beim Aeroflot Open in Moskau für Dortmund qualifizierte, holte sich mit den schwarzen Steinen gegen WM-Teilnehmer Boris Gelfand (Israel) den ersten halben Punkt. Die erste Partie des Tages war nach knapp drei Stunden beendet: Der 16- jährige Dortmund-Debütant Magnus Carlsen (Norwegen) und Peter Leko (Ungarn), zweimaliger Sieger des Sparkassen Chess-Meetings, trennten sich in einer Spanischen Partie nach 29 Zügen unentschieden.

    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Magnus Carlsen gana el Campeonato Mundial de ajedrez Blitz El Gran Maestro cubano Leinier Domínguez finalizó en el puesto 13 de la clasificación, por encima del lugar 15 que le correspondía según el Elo Publicado: Jueves 19 noviembre 2009 | 12:35:57 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Como casi todos presentíamos desde que terminó la segunda jornada, Magnus Carlsen (2801) ganó categóricamente el Campeonato Mundial de ajedrez Blitz (relámpago), concluido este miércoles en Moscú. El genio noruego acumuló 31 puntos de 42 posibles, con 28 victorias, seis tablas y solo ocho derrotas. Así, su entrenamiento junto al legendario Garry Kasparov sigue dando frutos. Por su parte, el Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2719) tuvo su mejor día y se despidió con 20 unidades, en el puesto 13 de la clasificación. Durante la última fecha, cuando decidió la resistencia y no la velocidad, Leinier ganó seis partidas, empató cuatro y perdió otras tantas. Veamos: Abrió con tablas frente al israelí Boris Gelfand (2758), cayó ante el benjamín ucraniano Sergey Karjakin (2723) y negoció un nuevo empate con el gran Anatoly Karpov (2619). Luego, derrotó al alemán Arkadij Naiditsch (2689) y dividió el punto con Carlsen, quien no pudo vencerlo esta vez. Después, cayó frente al indio Vishwanathan Anand (2788), pero superó en línea a recta a la húngara Judit Polgar (2680), al armenio Levon Aronian (2786) y al ruso Dmitry Jakovenko (2736). Seguidamente, firmó la paz con el húngaro Peter Leko (2752), pero fue derrotado por el ucraniano Vassily Ivanchuk (2739).
