Vishy Anand se sube al carro
Ronda tres y tres partidas con substancia (!!) en la XXIV edición del Torneo Intercontinental de Linares.
Que buena jornada la vivida en el día de ayer.
Anand, que ya fuera campeón del Torneo en 1.998 también se quiso subir al carro de los líderes de este 
prestigioso evento. Curiosamente ha sido un jugador que ha sufrido bastante en estos torneos jienenses.
Quedó 10º (de 14 participantes) en 1.991. Allí se impuso a Yusupov, Timman, Kárpov y a Kamsky, pero cosechó cinco ceros frente a Ivanchuk, Beliavsky, Sálov, Gurevich y Gelfand.
En la edición de 1.992, quedó 5º (también de 14) venciendo a Timman, Beliavsky e Illescas y perdiendo frente a Yusupov y Short.
En 1.993 ya quedó 3º (de 14) ganando a Ivanchuk, Bareev, Kamsky, Timman, Gelfand y Ljubojevic y saliendo derrotado contra Kaspárov y Beliavsky.
En 1.994, bajón, pues quedó 8º (de 14). Allí ganó a Kamsky, Illescas, Judit Polgar y Beliavsky; pero perdió con Kaspárov, Lautier, Topalov e Ivanchuk.
Descansó en 1.995.
En el Torneo de 1.997 quedó 6º de 12. Venció a Judit Polgar y a Dreev, pero perdió con Kaspárov y Predrag Nikolic.
En 1.998 donde se iniciaron los torneos a doble vuelta, se proclamó como ya hemos dicho, por primera vez y única en su vida, campeón de Linares (con 7 participantes), venciendo a Shirov, Svidler, Ivanchuk y Topalov, pero perdiendo con… ¿adivinan quién?, pues sí, con Kaspárov.
En 1.999 quedó 3º de 8, ganando a Topalov, Svidler y Adams, pero con una única derrota, ¿contra?... OK, contra Kaspárov. Apúntenme ahí para que repase un día todas estas derrotas del bueno de Vishy con el monstruo de las cien cabezas, como una vez bautizara a Garry, el GM inglés ya tristemente fallecido, Anthony Miles.
En Linares 2.000 quedaría 4º de 6 participantes venciendo a Khalifman y perdiendo con Shirov y ¿alguien adivina con quién más?. Enhorabuena a los acertantes, con Garry Kimovich Kaspárov.
En 2.001, descansó de nuevo.
En 2.002 volvió a quedar 4º de 7. Venció a Shirov y perdió con Adams y al menos esta vez le arrancó dos tablas al ogro… .
En 2.003, Vishy quedó 3º de 7. Venció a Leko, Ponomariov y Radjabov y perdió también con Leko (doble vuelta) y de nuevo con su "bestia negra", Kaspárov (!?).
En 2.004 de nuevo descansa.
En 2.005, el año de la retirada de Kaspárov, Anand quedó 3º de 7. Le ganó a Topalov y a Kasimdzhanov y perdió con Adams y al menos le arrancó dos tablas a Garry.
En 2.006 volvió a descansar.
Ahora reaparece en este año 2.007 de nuevo, ya sin la sombra de Kaspárov, algo bastante positivo para él (!?) y tras su brillante victoria de ayer, se encarama en el primer puesto de la clasificación (aunque compartido).
¡A ver si logra su segundo torneo! pues la buena estrella ahora sí que le acompaña !!... .
Carlsen-Anand: Defensa semieslava, variante Merano. En vez de lanzarse al centro con e4, Magnus optó por un "soso" 10.b3. El GM hindú no tuvo demasiados problemas para igualar la partida. Se cambiaron damas y Anand hizo un muy buen movimiento de rey al rincón, que le procuró un juego muy cómodo. Carlsen se tenía que haber contentado con las tablas, pero empezó a jugar raro con g3 primero y con 21.Tc1 después y cedió la iniciativa a Vishy. El momento crítico se produjo en el movimiento 27, en donde Carlsen no aceptó con el golpe que le daba la posibilidad del empate. A partir de ahí, Anand ganó un peón, puso la quinta marcha y se impuso sin despeinarse.

Topalov-Leko: Defensa India de Dama. Topalov siguió la línea que empleó contra Anand en el Mundial de San Luis (2.005) cambiando de tercio en la jugada 19. Leko a su vez prosiguió con la partida que había disputado en Montecarlo el año pasado contra Nielsen, pero también cambió en la jugada 20. Se canjearon damas y torres y se entró en un final, en donde a cambio de un peón pasado de las blancas, las negras se quedaban con la pareja de alfiles. Tras un preciso juego, Leko forzó la entrada en un tablífero final de alfiles de distinto color que dividió el punto sin más historia.

Without Danailov's hand signals it's not so easy. 1/2-1/2
Svidler-Ivanchuk : Defensa Petrov que siguió los cauces de la partida Svidler-Kramnik de Wijk aan Zee 2.007. Allí Svidler no se atrevió a entrar en b7 con su dama. Aquí sí. Como muy bien señala Rybka 2.3 no se puede tomar la torre de a8. Por lo tanto se cambiaron las damas, alguna pieza menor, un par de torres y la partida se volvió un tanto maniobrera. En el movimiento 34.Ab8? Svidler cometió un grave error a lo que Vasily le devolvió el favor inmediatamente, pues se podía haber quedado con una clara ventaja. Las negras ganaron un peón, pero las blancas disfrutaron de un fuerte contrajuego. Justo en la jugada del control, Ivanchuk desaprovechó una oportunidad para lograr el empate con una jugada merecedora de un buen estudio artístico. Y ahora en la jugada 41 y con todo el tiempo del mundo, fue el ruso quien desaprovechó una brillante oportunidad para ganar en gran estilo. A partir de ahí se jugaron unos muy interesantes movimientos, pero ya no se pudo romper el empate. Fue una partida muy movida y que agradeció el público presente.

Morozevich-Aronian: Otra gran partida. En la segunda ronda, Aronian se escapó de la derrota ante Carlsen de milagro y hoy le ha vuelto a suceder lo mismo contra Morozevich. Puede ser que estemos de nuevo en la "conocida" suerte de los campeones!. El armenio hizo uso con negras de su favorita variante Ragozin del Gambito de dama, que tan buen resultado le proporcionara frente a Radjabov en Wijk aan Zee 2.007. Pero para la ocasión, el GM ruso venía preparado con una tremenda novedad teórica. De esas que nada más ponerla sobre el tablero, se oye un murmullo en los presentes que augura una gran batalla. Las blancas entregaron un peón a cambio de desarrollo. O sea que se puede decir que quedó de lo más justificado aquella coletilla que dice "con compensación por el material entregado". En la jugada 17 el ambiente se calienta. Aronian tomó el peón blanco de c5, se produjeron una serie de cambios aparentemente forzados y justo en la jugada 21 el creativo jugador ruso estrelló en gran estilo su alfil blanco contra el peón negro de g7. La máquina sugiere no comerse el alfil, pero como bien dijo un maestro en el ICC, Aronian respondió con la jugada "humana". Lo capturó con su rey. A partir de ahí se restableció la escena principal de la partida, es decir, la de peón de menos para las blancas, pero a cambio de tener sobre el tablero a una dama danzarina… . Y cuando todo el mundo proponía la posibilidad de un empate para Morozevich, en la jugada 30.Rh2! el ruso dio a demostrar querer ir a por el triunfo final!!. Rybka en aquel momento y tras mucho pensar, dio con la única jugada posible para salir del entuerto. Aronian no la vio, tal vez porque entonces aún no imaginaba del todo, lo que se le caía encima. Y así fue. Con brillantes golpes, Moro, metió la torre en juego. Sólo un pero. Quemó casi todo su tiempo y estaba aún en la jugada 34. Y justo falló en la puntilla final, por dos veces consecutivas, en las jugadas 38 y 39. Lo dicho, Aronian, hizo gala de poseer la suerte de los campeones!. Pasado el control, encontró el camino del empate.
