"Pequeñin"

Jeffery Xiong junto con GM Kayden Troff, GM Samuel Sevian, WIM Ashritha Eswaran y el GM Gary Kasparov

En días pasados hablaba del gran juego demostrado por el “pequeñín” Wei Yi ganando el campeonato masculino de China. Chequeando en el internet, encontré unas partidas del Chicago Open 2015 con la participación de Grandes Maestros, entre ellos Gata Kamsky y Lazaro Bruzon Batista de Cuba. La sorpresa en este Open fue que otro “pequeñín”, de tan solo 14 años, Jeffery Xiong obtuvo el primer puesto y un premio de $10.300 dólares con un score de 7/9.

Es increíble como estos niños en tan corto tiempo (y con arduo trabajo, por supuesto) lleguen a tener un sorprendente nivel para las grandes competencias. Veamos la partida que llamó mi atención…

El Tiempo Es Oro

Lo inimaginable!! En la primera ronda del Súper Torneo el GM Magnus Carlsen es víctima de su propio tiempo y pierde en una posición ganada. Según los datos en la página de transmisión, el árbitro anuncio los periodos de tiempo antes de iniciar las partidas; 120 minutos/40 movimientos + (60 minutos + 30 segundos) los restantes movimientos. Magnus llego tarde al tablero y no supo de las reglas del tiempo. Se dice que el día anterior a él se le había indicado: 120/40 +60/20 +15/el resto de partida con 30 segundos de incremento a partir del movimiento 61. Un excelente juego por parte de Magnus, pero con un lamentable final!!

Norway Chess Blitz 2015

GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave

El gran súper torneo comenzó con el tradicional Blitz (10 minutos por juego sin incremento) que definía quien tendría las piezas Blancas + 1 durante el principal torneo. Este año fue ganado convincentemente por Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Gran drama y suspenso con espectaculares partidas. 

Recomiendo: Giri-Anand; Grischuk-Anand; Carlsen-Vachier; Anand-Carlsen; Vachier-Hammer

Trampas, Sospechas Y Realidad

En el pasado Campeonato Europeo Femenino, se creó una pólemica, acerca de una de sus participantes, WGM Mihaela Sandu. La acusaron de "sospecha" o de estar recibiendo "ayuda" externa de algún dispositivo que le permitió ganar en las primeras rondas a jugadoras de mayor ELO. Se crearon dos documentos que a continuación voy a transcribir:

We, the participants of the 16th European Women Championship would like to express our grave concern regarding raising suspicions of cheating in the tournament. We would like to ask organizers cooperation in this regard. There are a few ways to fight with advanced technology, and we strongly believe organizers should do their utmost to avoid such situations. We have already asked for a 15 min delay in the live transmission of all the games. It is a common solution, used in many top level tournaments. If this is technically not possible, then we would like to ask organizers to propose another solution of this problem for the remaining rounds of the Championship.

We, participants of the 16th European Individual Women’s Chess Championship, want to express concern about the situation with M. Sandu's performance. We would like to ask organizers not to include her games from the rounds 8-11 in a live transmission and publish them after the rounds. We do not see any important reason to dislike this precautionary measure for both sides. We hope that such a decision will prevent all the possible suspicions.

La federación rumana por intermedio de su vocera Irina Bulmaga presente en el certamen, se manifestó en defensa de su compañera con lo siguiente: 

"Entiendo que perder ante un rival de menor puntuación puede ser muy frustrante, pero no entiendo la necesidad de ser tan paranoico y poco profesional. Me parece esta situación simplemente indignante y quiero señalar que el ajedrez no es una guerra y buscar todos los medios posibles para ganarla. Solía pensar que todos los jugadores profesionales de ajedrez son personas inteligentes y altamente sensibles y como deportistas, demostrar su alto nivel en el juego limpio.  Bueno, supongo que no podía estar más equivocada". 

Y la misma jugadora, luego se manifestaría con una carta que resumiré de la siguiente manera: 

“…Juego ajedrez por mucho tiempo y ahora ni nunca he hecho trampa en mi vida. Mi vida gira alrededor del ajedrez. Soy profesora de ajedrez y ajedrecista profesional y mi nombre en este deporte es muy importante para mí. He venido a esta competencia con una seria preparación, con la gran esperanza de tener un buen resultado y aumentar así mi confianza. Pero alguna gente piensa que por haber obtenido un buen resultado, es cuestión de duda y debe ser castigado.

He tratado de estar calmada y jugar nuevamente después de los ataques que recibí por sospecha de hacer trampa. Pero he aprendido que esto es imposible. Hay una enorme presión psicológica y es difícil encontrar la energía necesaria para jugar normalmente el ajedrez. Pensé en abandonar el torneo pero mi familia y mis compañeras me dieron el apoyo de continuar  a pesar de las circunstancias”.   

La rumana ganó las cinco primeras partidas, perdió la sexta, ganó la séptima y fue derrotada en las cuatro siguientes, luego de la acusación pública. La organización estuvo de acuerdo con el primer documento y condenó el segundo documento, dado que los análisis de las partidas de Sandu con programas de ajedrez  especiales no se pudo detectar trampas que muestren indicios sólidos. Por ejemplo, en esta partida no se ve nada que no esté al alcance de una jugadora de 2.300 puntos en buena forma.
