Torneo de Morelia-Linares (5)

Divino !!

El ajedrez, por encima de todo es un arte. Y el mundo está lleno de grandes artistas. Magnus Carlsen se convirtió en artista del tablero aquella tarde del 22 de Febrero de 2.007 donde en la ciudad mexicana de Morelia, venció por primera vez al número uno del ránking, el búlgaro y ex-campeón del mundo, Veselin Topálov en el Torneo Intercontinental Morelia-Linares 2.007, el denominado Wimbledon del Ajedrez.

El muchacho con 16 años pide ahora un sitio de honor en el trono de Caissa: "Divino, sublime, magistral !!".

También un 22 de Febrero, moría en el olvido del amargo exilio uno de los mejores artistas de las letras españolas. Andaluz, sevillano; que por los avatares de la vida estuvo siete años viviendo en la ciudad jienense de Baeza, muy cerquita de nuestro añorado y querido Linares.

Valga éste, su poema dedicado a los " sueños de la infancia", como reconocimiento al trabajo, don natural e inmenso talento del genial muchacho noruego que probablemente algún día desempeñará el cargo de Emperador del ajedrez mundial:

¡Ah, cuando yo era niño
soñaba con los héroes de la Ilíada!
Áyax era más fuerte que Diomedes,
Héctor, más fuerte que Ayax,
y Aquiles el más fuerte; porque era
el más fuerte...¡Inocencias de la infancia!
¡Ah, cuando yo era niño
soñaba con los héroes de la Ilíada!

Antonio Machado.

En 1.912, Antonio Machado se trasladó a Baeza. Fue el reencuentro con su tierra andaluza natal, aunque la situación anímica tras la muerte de su esposa es de completo abatimiento.

Allí, Machado , se encontrará con una Andalucía provinciana, aburrida, que el poeta verá con ojos muy críticos. Comienza la redacción de Los complementarios , un cuaderno de apuntes que será editado después de la muerte del poeta sevillano, acaecida en el pueblo francés de Collioure, donde murió a las cuatro de la tarde del 22 de febrero de 1.939. Sus ultimas palabras fueron:

"Adiós, madre".

En el bolsillo del gabán del poeta, había un papelito que recordaba a " Guiomar" y otro que contenía un solitario verso:

"Estos días azules y este sol de la infancia".

Murió de pena. El miedo, la pobreza, las interminables esperas en la frontera, el frío, el fracaso, la nostalgia, la soledad... precipitaron su prematura caída.

El cariz sombrío de los acontecimientos en la guerra que terminara con el agobiante periplo final por España y Francia; la separación durante la misma y luego el tremendo sinsabor de saber a su hermano Manuel, tan inseparable camarada de empresas literarias y teatrales, convertido ahora en importante valedor de esa España que empuja a él y su otra familia al exilio. Las solicitudes por su madre anciana que morirá tres días después del poeta y por sus sobrinas, hijas de su hemano José , a las que quería como un padre y de las que no tenía noticias. La irremediable pérdida de "Guiomar", su gran amor otoñal, cuyo recuerdo le acompañará durante todo el exilio interior y exterior, hasta las mismas puertas de la muerte.

Todos estos sucesos, agotaron moralmente al poeta y acortaron una vida llena de sabiduría.

Ahora justo cuando han pasado 68 años de aquel trágico suceso y también a las cuatro de la tarde, la historia nos presenta a otro genio del arte. Muere uno, nace otro. Es la vida… .

Carlsen-Topalov: Vendió cara la derrota Veselin Topalov. Es más, no debía haber perdido por lo ocurrido en la posición final, donde tenía tablas, que increíblemente no vió (¿nuevo fallo en su concentración?). Pero la presión a la que fue sometido se puede catalogar de "durísima" . De hecho, Magnus en su última jugada podía mover su rey para evitar el jaque salvador que no hizo Veselin, quedándose entonces con neta ventaja. Momentos antes, Carlsen sí que desaprovechó una fantástica posibilidad que le llevaba al triunfo. En realidad, se me hizo tremendamente difícil analizar esta partida con la ayuda de Rybka 2.3. Si no hubiéramos tenido computadoras; supongamos que nos remontamos a la época, por ejemplo del Interzonal de Portoroz de 1.958 y Carlsen fuera en aquellos momentos el gran Bobby Fischer (por hablar de un símil bastante parecido !?), seguramente que catalogaría la partida de fenomenal, para Wonderboy. Pero claro, tener la máquina encendida y ver a ese monstruo de silicio que se niega a reconocer que la jugada clave que puso en práctica el chico, 43.g4 !? no es buena, constituye todo un problema sentimental.

La partida se desarrolló con la Defensa Semi-eslava, con la variante 6.Dc2 que Krámnik puso en práctica ante Topalov en el último Campeonato Mundial. Magnus optó inmediatamente por romper en el centro, pero no consiguió ventaja alguna tras la apertura. Lo que sí consiguió fue una posición de esas en donde se sabe que el blanco no puede perder nunca y tiene una ligera iniciativa con la que puede especular sin riesgo alguno durante toda la batalla. El chico maniobró excelentemente y cuando hizo 19.c5!, pronto se entendió que venía dispuesto a presentar sus credenciales a todo un número uno del ranking mundial. Y así fue. Una auténtica guerra de nervios que duró más de cuatro horas, hasta el decidido movimiento 43 que rompió de golpe los moldes de la partida hasta aquellos momentos. En la jugada 45 para Rybka, Veselin cometió su peor error de la partida. No estoy completamente seguro de que el módulo tenga la razón, pero la realidad es que el programa fue desmontando todo intento de ataque por parte de las blancas. Desde que Topalov optó por "jugar humano" protegiendo con sus torres a su monarca, e incluso reculando con su dama para apuntalar su flanco de rey, se puede decir que Magnus ya obtuvo una fortísima presión que terminó en un voraz ataque. Con 51.Th1!, todas las piezas de Wonderboy colaboraron perfectamente en la cacería del rey contrario. Y lo dicho, lástima al error de la jugada 55 de las blancas, que pudo haber puesto un broche de oro a la partida. Pero no podemos quitar al jóven GM noruego ni un solo mérito por el hito conseguido. ¡16 años de edad son demasiados pocos para liderar el Torneo Intercontinental de Morelia-Linares tras la quinta ronda!.

Aronian-Anand: Caramba, carambola y carambita con Levon Aronian… . Recuerdo ahora cuando dije al final de Corus-Wijk aan Zee 2.007, algo así como "Y el tapado era Aronian". Creo que en Linares también va de ese modo. De por libre !?. Cuando he dicho aquí que este también jóven jugador, tiene la suerte de los campeones, es que tampoco voy muy descaminado. Ya ganó Linares el año pasado y se ve que le gustó y viene ahora también con los cuchillos afilados para esta edición… . Se impuso nada más y nada menos que a Vishy Anand. Tal vez estemos ya ante un relevo generacional, como muy bien apuntaba esta mañana en R.N.E. mientras desayunaba, el popular periodista Leontxo García. En fin, que puedo decir y pensar: ¡La juventud se impone!. Y la verdad es que me alegro. ¡La juventud es la única que mueve montañas!. "El escolasticismo y el pensamiento doctrinario entorpecen el normal desarrollo de la sociedad en donde nos movemos y crecemos". ¡Creo que me quedó bien la frase! … .

La partida se desarrolló bajo los cauces de un Gambito de Dama Aceptado por transposición. Hasta la jugada 17 se siguio por los senderos de una partida del Torneo del Grupo B de Wijk aan Zee de este año. Quedó cada bando con peones doblados. Posición complicada. Pareja de alfiles para el armenio. En la jugada 29 se produjo el primer error serio de Anand. Rybka encontró un método para frenar a un peligroso peón central pasado de las blancas. Tan sólo una jugada más tarde, nuevo error de Vishy. Ya ese fue de mayor importancia, porque a partir de ahí las posibilidades de victoria de Levon se incrementarían bastante. En la jugada 36, el módulo en un intento desesperado, propone una defensa a ultranza para las negras, aunque siempre terminando sus análisis en ligera ventaja de las blancas. Anand al jugar pasivo, terminó perdiendo un final impecablemente manejado por Aronian.

Svidler-Leko: Svidler permitió el ataque Marshall de Leko. Todo igual que otra partida de jóvenes valores entre Negi y Kosteniuk, celebrada el año pasado en Francia. Y en la jugada 21 se produjo la novedad teórica. Las blancas salieron un poquito mejor de la apertura, pero se puede decir que las negras se mantuvieron firmes con la consabida intencionalidad de atacar si les fuese posible por el flanco de rey. Ni los maestros del ICC, ni la máquina, ni por supuesto Svidler, encontraron un método para las blancas que les reportara ventaja. Por lo tanto se repitieron jugadas y en el movimiento 27 ambos jugadores se repartieron el punto en litigio.

Morozevich-Ivanchuk: Tanto el ruso como el ucranio no estaban en esta ronda para demasiados trotes, tras lo acontecido a ambos en la jornada anterior. Se disputó la partida bajo los cánones de la Variante Berlinesa de la Apertura Española. Ivanchuk hizo de Krámnik, repitiendo una partida suya celebrada en Montecarlo en 2.001. Las negras igualaron sin demasiadas dificultades y se llegó al empate en 32 jugadas.
