Problema del Lunedì (5)

Spesso capita che un superGm trovi una mossa mai vista da nessuno, la cosiddettà novità.
Ma capità molto raramente che questa novità sia un sacrificio di regina alla 14ma mossa, in una posizione abbastanza conosciuta!
Valutate fino alle estreme conseguenze le due alternative 14.AxCf6 e 14.Dxe6 e stabilite voi stessi quella che considerate migliore.
La fantasiosa 14.Dxe6 fu giocata nella partita Ivanchuk-Karjakin 1-0, Amber Rapid 2008

«We have learnt how to organize manufacturing plants, but not our general education, our mental work. I believe I am safe in voicing the opinion that our efforts in chess attain only a hundredth percent of their rightful result. Education in chess has to be an education in independent thinking and judging. Chess must not be memorized, simply because it is not important enough.

The method produces numerous results.» E. Lasker

As you grow older you become sated, and the sharpness of your feelings is gradually erased.»T.V. Petrosian

«Any amateur can look at top-level games, and instead of appreciating the mystery behind the moves they will simply look at the evaluation of the computer. I'm not afraid the computer will find all the ideas and leave no room for imagination.» M.Carlsen

«Enormous self-belief, intuition, the ability to take a risk at a critical moment and go in for a very dangerous play with counter-chances for the opponent - it is precisely these qualities that distinguish great players.» G.Kasparov.

«Chess was Capablanca’s mother tongue» R.Reti

«A passed Pawn increases in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes» J.R. Capablanca

«The work of a chess player is similar to a blast furnace process: it is continuous and demands a heated passion for chess.» A. Suetin

«It is not enough to be a good player... you must also play well» Siegbert Tarrasch

«Later, I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realized a very simple truth: not only was I worried, but also my opponent» M. Tal

You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them.» M.Carlsen
