Torneo de Morelia/Linares 2008

9ª Ronda : Linares, 29-2-2008

¡Ohh! . Qué tarde/noche de ajedrez !!.

Comencé viendo la partida entre Aronian y Anand. Vishy llevó muy bien la partida controlando excelentemente la idea de apertura que ayer puso en práctica Radjabov contra Leko. Al final, tablas merecidas en 27. Se puede ver en los comentarios algún análisis interesante de Rybka.

Pasé seguidamente a la otra partida en la cumbre, la que disputaban el Mozart del ajedrez, Magnus Carlsen, frente al Leonardo da Vinci, Alexei Shirov. ¡Qué partida!. Ya me llevó seguirla toda la sesión, con más de siete horas de juego. Al final, el joven jugador noruego nos dio un recital de lo que significa el "tesón". En una posición de esas que todos sabemos que aunque haya una ligera ventaja son tablas, supo presionar a su rival, apurándolo de tiempo. Al final, Shirov, agobiado por el reloj cometió un error de principiante y perdió. ¡Lamentable!. Pero lo cierto es que viendo en directo la partida, nos dimos cuenta lo que significa hoy en día llamarse Carlsen. ¡Un espíritu de lucha encomiable! que me recordó un montón al del mejor Bobby Fischer. Se demuestra de este modo que los jugadores por muy buenos que sean, son humanos y el factor suerte también suele decidir los encuentros, para quien la busca con ahínco.

De cualquier forma y según Rybka, en una enmarañada posición que surgió tras la jugada nº 29 de Shirov, Carlsen pudo haber rematado a su rival si hubiera jugado de otro modo. Pero en la práctica real, acertar con antelación diez jugadas vista, resultaba algo tremendamente complicado… .

Rybka hizo lo que pudo para desentrañar algunos de los secretos ocultos que en esta partida se produjeron. Habrá que esperar ahora al análisis de los protagonistas… .

No puedo decir mucho más, salvo que Topalov hizo tablas con Radjabov y que Ivanchuk (vengando la severa derrota de ayer contra Magnus) se impuso con negras a un desdibujado Peter Leko.

En fin, lo dicho. ¡Viva el ajedrez! y a todos los jugadores noveles que empiezan les animo a pensar mucho más de lo que lo hacen en sus partidas. ¡Si buscan, encuentran!.

"El ajedrez templa el carácter que los hombres necesitan desarrollar en la vida real. Y es más simple aprender determinados temas de la vida a través del juego".

Black is pretty tied up, and it's white that is going to push pawns with queens on board aries2 (IM) : it's an interesting position aries2 (IM) : i agree we should not let white gain space willy nilly on qside hence a5 maybe, not sure sitparkcin (FM) : but i though it was so easy? now you dont know aries2 (IM) : a5 c3 g6 that is the line sitparkcin (FM) : its like watching a comedy here very amuzing Ng5 (IM) : this is serious AZ79 (IM) : at the end of the day "simple" chess positions are quite complicated aries2 (IM) : a5 c3 g6 b4 rf8 is there a big deal? Ng5 (IM) : top quality patzerization of good games aries2 (IM) : you want to win that pawn? i don't think so aries2 (IM) : it shatters your own pawns and doesn't give any winning chances sabino (IM) : maybe win it without excanging queens sabino (IM) : rooks* aries2 (IM) : my idea zeal in rook ending is to pop out with ka7 to b6 to bother you aries2 (IM) : so what do you do aries2 (IM) : ok aries2 (IM) : then i probably bring my K to c5 i am ing then play c6 for gegenspiel AZ79 (IM) : there was a Kamsky Anand rook ending that was "dead drawn", with the Sofia rules, that Kamsky won.
