Torneo de Morelia-Linares (4)

MegaMagnus tras el Rápido de Madrás

Cuarta ronda del Torneo de Linares. Anand y Carlsen fueron los protagonistas en esta ocasión. De Vishy ya dije tras la tercera jornada lo que se espera de él en este torneo. De Wonderboy, que lo comenzó liderando, hemos hablado sin parar todo lo que podemos y más. Con 16 años tiene el mundo a sus pies. Hay un bonito artículo sobre él de David Llada (por cierto, su libro sobre Kárpov está muy bien) que el otro día el forero Pablo Perera puso en este foro del ajedrez canario. Miro ahora las estadísticas en mi base de datos selecta, que en su día comenzara a elaborar Vladimir Krámnik y que luego he ido yo alimentando con las partidas que han ido saliendo de jugadores de más de 2.500 puntos Elo y encuentro que ante la élite del ajedrez, este chico posee de sus partidas disputadas un 38% de victorias, frente a tan sólo un 23% de derrotas. El resto, un 39%, han finalizado en tablas. Creo que es un logro excepcional. Y ya se encuentra con 2.690 puntos Elo. Un ráting de ensueño. MegaMagnus !!. Lo mejor que tiene es su modestia y madurez para su edad. Su familia le arropa. ¡Cómo tiene que ser!. Se trata de que siga aprendiendo. Pero claro, en el Wimbledon del ajedrez se tumbó primero a Morozevich (Supermoro) por aquello de lo gran táctico que es y ahora noqueó a Ivanchuk, uno de los grandes ases de Linares. Cierto es que Vasily arriesgó demasiado y todo eso… pero la victoria del jovencito noruego no le resta mérito alguno. Y estoy seguro que le da todo el incentivo necesario para continuar en la ardua tarea de la preparación. ¡Enhorabuena para él!. Haga lo que haga, creo que ya lo ha hecho fantástico. Pero dejemos que el torneo transcurra… .

Anand-Morozevich: ¡Qué placer ver una Apertura Española, Variante Breyer!. La defensa favorita de mi juventud cuando seguía el famoso libro de Kárpov de todas sus partidas de la editorial Bruguera. Recuerdo ahora que lo reproducí entero tres veces!. Moro jugó una variante aparentemente sólida con 14…c6. Anand siguió la receta de Kaspárov con un rápido Cf5. Pareció que iba a salir con ventaja de la apertura pero el jugador ruso coordinó bien todas sus piezas y se mantuvo expectante. En la jugada 24 Morozevich intentó expulsar el molesto caballo con …g6 pero Anand ni se inmutó. El análisis muestra que en ese momento esa pieza no se puede tomar. De cualquier forma las negras igualaron "suavemente". En la jugada 31, Rybka 2.3 señala una buena oportunidad para el ruso de explotar las casillas negras débiles del jugador hindú en su flanco de rey, que le hubiera reportado algo de ventaja. Se cambiaron damas, maniobra que no le gustó demasiado al módulo, y Morozevich (fiel a sus principios) continuó jugando activo con un traslado de caballo a la casilla "c5" en lugar de ir al escaque más seguro, "c7". El ruso no quiso cambiar a su debido tiempo en "d5" y poco a poco se fue quedando peor. Anand es tremendamente peligroso cuando obtiene la iniciativa. Su aparente sencillez se convierte en un arma letal. Encima juega rápido y te presiona. Pasado el control de tiempo se las ingenió para materializar su ventaja en victoria (logrando dos peones limpitos) que le sirvió para ubicarse como líder en solitario del evento, tras la desgraciada actuación de Ivanchuk.

Anand,V (2779) - Morozevich,A (2741) [C95]

Ivanchuk-Carlsen: Tras una apertura de peón de dama, Vasily no quiso trasponer a la Apertura Catalana y retrasó el obligado 4.c4 . El chico contestó con una receta 4…b5!? que ya había utilizado Peter Leko en el famoso torneo de rápidas y a la ciega de Montecarlo ( 2.005). Ese torneo, es un buen foco de aperturas interesantes, por la modalidad en la que se juega. Y de tarde en tarde, surgen variantes que allí se desarrollan, en las partidas serias a nivel magistral. Ivanchuk siguió los cauces del Sistema Londres. Las piezas se fueron desarrollando armónicamente por ambas partes colocándose en las mejores casillas. Así hasta que en el movimiento 21, Ivanchuk rompió en el centro y se aseguró una ligera ventaja. En el ICC se proponía una entrega de alfil en h6. Rybka lo valoró metódicamente aportando una línea de completa igualdad. Muy bonita para la galería, pero sin más. Ivanchuk, no se conformaba en aquellos momentos con el empate. Y continuó envistiendo. Así hasta que en la jugada 32 el jugador ucranio permitió que Magnus activase su dama por "b6". A lo mejor era el momento tras el error, de empezar a conformarse con las tablas. Pero todos sabemos que muchas veces el ego del jugador se impone a la lógica. Carlsen comenzó a maniobrar certeramente con uno de sus caballos y obtuvo la iniciativa. Luego con el otro, forzó el cambio de un par de torres. Llevó la dama hasta la primera fila del blanco y la canjeó. En la jugada 45, Ivanchuk desaprovechó una manera lógica de movilizar a su torre y comenzó a meterse en un mundo de problemas. En el ICC antes de que se produjera el movimento 49 de las blancas, los maestros no se ponían totalmente de acuerdo de cómo proceder para lograr el empate. Rybka, encontró allí un método que lleva a la igualdad. De nuevo la idea es la misma. Liberar a la torre blanca de la penosa defensa. O sea, la actividad por encima de todo!!. Ivanchuk no lo vio y quedó en desventaja. Pero, ante el poco material existente, ¿era una ventaja suficiente como para ganar?. Bueno. Pues llevo toda la tarde analizando ese final con la ayuda de mi estimado programita y no encontramos la forma de concretarlo. De cualquier forma, supongo que la mayoría de Vdes. me comprenderán cuando "sólo ante el peligro" con mis aproximados 2.070 puntos Elo, me enfrento muchas veces a posiciones que ni tan siquiera el afamado programa es capaz de verificar al 100% y sobre todo cuando se dispone de poco tiempo para realizar esta crónica. Posiblemente tendremos que esperar a los análisis de New in Chess (del propio Carlsen) para aclarar el enigma. Una cosa, sí es segura. Con la jugada que realizó Ivanchuk en la partida (53.Tb5?) se pierde de inmediato.

Profylax (IM) : agree with siglar .... MightyViking (IM) : And where exactly was that border? The border is what it is now only because the Russians decided where to draw it in 1809. FrozenShade (GM) : wouldnt exactly call huge international company single person, but whatever :) MightyViking (IM) : The point is: The current border between Sweden and Finland was not a border between anything before 1809. It cuts right through two provinces. FrozenShade (GM) : mokami: and this has anything to do with my last sentence in what way exactly?

Leko-Aronian: Defensa Bogoindia. Se siguió una línea que habían disputado Khalifman y Adams en Turquía en el año 2.004. Parecía que Leko quería esta vez ganar con el famoso caballo de Pillsbury. La idea del armenio de llevar su dama a aquel flanco, permitiendo la entrada de una torre blanca por "c7" pareció arriesgada. Lo cierto es que esa torre se terminó estrellando en "f7". Pero por lo que se vió, Aronian lo tenía todo perfectamente controlado. Tras una serie de cambios forzados se llegó a un final de dama, torre, alfil y seis peones frente a dama, dos torres y cuatro peones. Las negras pudieron tomar un peón y quedaron con una ligerita ventaja durante el resto de la partida. La cuestión que se planteó en el ICC acaloradamente era si esa ventajita se podía o no concretar. Conociendo la solidez defensiva de Leko, la respuesta fue que no. Los programas informáticos (desde siempre) no entienden este tipo de finales. Habría que idear lo que tantas veces he dicho: Un módulo de análisis especial sólo para determinado tipo finales dinámicos (no estáticos), en donde la valoración material de la posición no sea lo más importante de todo… . Pero en fin, supongo que esto es pedir demasiado. ¿No les parece?.

Topalov-Svidler: ¿Qué le pasa a Veselin?. Está como desinflado. Creo que llegó a Morelia con el tiempo justo, sin aclimatarse al Jet Lag. También creo, que la posibilidad de no poder jugar el match revancha con Krámnik, le está haciendo un flaco favor a su juego. En esta ronda comenzó con 1.Cf3. Mal augurio. Es sintomático ver el cariño que Svidler le profesa a la Defensa Grunfeld. De una Apertura Inglesa, se metió isofacto en los entresijos de aquellos esquemas. Se siguió por los senderos de su partida con Navara en Wijk aan Zee 2.007. Allí jugó clásico y entabló. Aquí jugó más activo y también empató. Entregó un peón que pronto recuperó. No se podía mantener bajo ningún concepto. Desde que hizo 19…b4! se vió venir que igualaría sin demasiados problemas y así fue. El control de la columna "b" y de la gran diagonal "h1-a8" fueron suficientes para lograr el empate.

Pues qué tenga cuidado Veselin Topalov hoy en la quinta ronda, que le viene MegaMagnus con blancas; el chavalín sin problemas… como un ¡lobo hambriento!.

Drahacik (FM) : jonanater, you're scrolling my screen. Drahacik (FM) : at least put your kibs together on one line Drahacik (FM) : there's not a 3-word limit, you know. MightyViking (IM) : Grünfeld is very difficult in practical play. White has so many good continuations, and Black must play very exact against all of them.

LazyPawn (IM) : You guys are funny. Half the openings are boring (Petroff, Caro-Kann, Ruy, Sveshnikov, Slav) and the other half are refuted (Gruenfeld, Benoni, Benko, French, gambits etc) 28.Td8+ 251 MightyViking (IM) : Yes, boring or refuted. That's why you should play poker instead. LazyPawn (IM) : Just watch and you will see, there is always some 1600 guy knowing it for sure 28...Af8 68 MightyViking (IM) : Yes, Grünfeld is also refuted, just slightly less than other openings! :) MightyViking (IM) : There's some truth in that, JEGutman... 29.Txb8 312 Drahacik (FM) : Qa7 recovers the pawn Neverwinter tells you: RESUME THE GAME Drahacik (FM) : 4 games, no wins for Topalov. 1/2-1/2
