Torneo di Capodanno 2009\2010

(Foto tratta da Chessbase)

Brunello mi sembra stia giocando le aperture, sopratutto da bianco, con troppa remissività. Usa come con Safarlj un approccio ipersolido che finisce con il dare la parità al nero.
E non è concesso giocare attivamente se la posizione non lo permette, questa partita lo dimostra perfettamente.
Almasi punisce le velleità dell'Mi Bergamasco e dopo aver guadagnato un pezzo per tre pedone si premura di parare tutte le minacce del bianco prima e di far scorpacciata di pedoni poi.

Brunello,S (2507) - Almasi,Z (2704) D71

52nd Reggio Emilia Reggio Emilia (4.4), 01.01.2010

1.d4 Cf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 Ag7 4.Ag2 d5 5.cxd5 Cxd5 6.e3 0-0 7.Ce2 c5 8.0-0 cxd4 9.Cxd4 Cc6 10.Cc3 Cxc3 11.bxc3 Ad7 “Burocraticamente” parlando è la mossa nuova, in sostanza è una manovra standard, di solito si gioca 11...Ca5 12.Tb1 Tb8 13.Aa3 Ad7 12.Tb1 Dc8 13.Aa3 Te8 14.Db3?! Una mossa attiva non giustificata dalla posizione, è più naturale 14.De2 Ca5 15.Tfd1 Tb8 e adesso è interessante 16.Cb3 16...Cxb3 17.axb3 Ag4!? 18.f3 Af5 19.e4 Ae6 20.c4 con partita pari.Un'alternativa può essere 16.c4!? , uno pseudo sacrificio che alla fine favorisce il nero perchè il bianco si ritrova costretto a cedere un suo alfiere per riprendere il pedone. 16...Cxc4 17.Tbc1 b5 18.Ad5 Da6! 19.Ac5 e6 20.Axc4 bxc4 21.Dxc4 Dxc4 22.Txc4 con finale leggermente vantaggioso. 14...Tb8 15.Tfd1 Ca5 16.Dd5 Adesso la donna occupa una posizione scomoda sulla quinta traversa. 16...b6 17.Dg5?! Col senno di poi potremmo dire l'errore decisivo. Su 17.c4 e6 (il nero non gioca 17...Cxc4 18.Tdc1 b5 19.Cxb5 Ae6 20.Dd3 Dd8 21.Dxd8 Texd8 con partita pari.) 18.De4 Cxc4 19.Tbc1 Da6 20.Cf5 Cxa3 21.Cxg7 Tec8! con vantaggio; Il compuer suggerisce una poco umana 17.Ab4!? Aa4 18.Td3 Cc4 19.Cc6 Axc6 20.Dxc4 Aa4 21.Dxc8 Texc8 22.Tc1 Tc7 con leggero vantaggio del nero. 17...Cc4! 18.Axe7 h6 19.Dh4 g5 20.Axg5 Più che un sacrificio voluto questa mossa è una triste necessità. hxg5 21.Dxg5 Dc5 22.Dh4 De7 23.Dh5 Tbc8 con una difesa precisa il nero ha parato le poche minaccie del bianco e il resto è, come si suole dire, questione di tecnica. 24.Ad5 Ce5 25.Cf5 Axf5 26.Dxf5 Txc3 27.Td4 Df6 28.Dh5 Dg6 29.Dxg6 Cxg6 30.Tg4 Rf8 31.h4 Td8 32.Ab3 Ce5 33.Tf4 Td7 34.Rg2 Cd3 35.Tf3 Cc5 36.Ad1 Ta3 37.g4 Txa2 38.g5 Tad2 39.Ab3 Cxb3 40.Txb3 Tb2 0-1

«To me chess is poetry, the poetry of fight, intelligence and will.» P. Neruda

«Not all artists are Chess players, but all Chess players are artists» M. Duchamp

«That's what chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one.» R. J. Fischer

«Chess mastery essentially consists of analyzing chess positions accurately.»M.M. Botvinnik

«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. You should keep in mind no names, nor numbers, nor isolated incidents, not even results, but only methods . The method is plastic. It is applicable in every situation. The method produces numerous results.» E. Lasker

«If it is true that a player's style is his person, then everyone plays as he is intended to by nature. I am naturally cautious, and I altogether dislike situations which involve risk.» T.V. Petrosian

«Help your pieces so they can help you» P. Morphy

«I believe that real creativity comes when your master the ability to connect different parts of your experience and perception, sometimes even small chaotic pieces of it, witch at first sight don't seem to be directly related. When you're pressed for time it is sometimes necessary to expand the dimension of your brain-work, from logic based on knowledge into the so-called "associative level.»Alexiey Shirov

«I played the strongest chess of my career in the period from 1958 to 1963, i.e. In the years when I was fighting for the chess crown. I was inspired by the struggle itself, but when a person has achieved his desire, his ardour cools. This is inevitable. 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

«Chess is like a language, the top players are very fluent at it. Talent can be developed scientifically but you have to find first what you are good at.» W. Anand

«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.

«Kasparov and I have nothing in common. For me chess was the end, for him it has merely been the means.» A. Karpov

«When I asked Fischer why he had not played a certain move in our game, he replied: ‘Well, you laughed when I wrote it down!’»M. Tal

«I like the moment when I break a man’s ego» Bobby Fischer

«It is difficult to play against Einstein’s theory.» M.Tal (on his first loss to Fischer).

«When you play Bobby, it is not a question if you win or lose. It is a question if you survive» B. Spassky

«Yes, I have played a blitz game once. It was on a train, in 1929.» M.Botvinnik

«Like dogs who sniff each other when meeting, chess players have a ritual at first acquaintance: they sit down to play speed chess.» A. Karpov

«Why must I lose to this idiot?»A. Nimzovich

«The stomach is an essential part of the Chess master» B. Larsen

«In 1996, the players at the VSB tournament in Amsterdam sent me a card for my wedding with this dedication 'Anand congrats on your wedding. You were a great player, now be ready to lose 50 points'.» W. Anand

«He who fears an isolated Queen’s Pawn should give up Chess» S. Tarrasch

«The passed Pawn is a criminal, who should be kept under lock and key.  Mild measures, such as police surveillance, are not sufficient» A. Nimzovich

«Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.» R.J. Fischer.

«There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and mine.» M. Tal

«A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it» Wilhelm Steinitz

«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

«I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn’t even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess.» M. Carlsen

“No Chess Grandmaster is normal; they only differ in the extent of their madness». V. Korchnoi

A bad plan is better than none at all» F. Marshall

«I don’t beleve in psichology, i beleve in good moves.» R.J.Fischer

«The battle for the ultimate truth will never be won. And that’s why Chess is so fascinating» H. Kmoch

«Chess is thirty to forty percent psychology. You don’t have this when you play a computer. I can’t confuse it.» J. Polgar

«Chess is 99 percent tactics.» Teichmann

«Look at Garry Kasparov. After he loses, invariably he wins the next game. He just kills the next guy. That’s something that we have to learn to be able to do» M. Ashley

«Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. 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
