Si pensabas que el llamado Match del Siglo entre Spassky y Bobby Fischer era insuperable, es porque no conocías el gran choque que tuvo lugar en la localidad filipina de Baguio por el título mundial entre Anatoly Karpov y Victor Korchnoi. La enorme acumulación de circunstancias que rozan la locura que os vamos a contar hoy, mucho más allá del deporte del ajedrez, hacen de este match uno de los más divertidos de contar de toda la serie. Vamos a encontrar muchos de los elementos que acompañan a este juego y que ya hemos visto en otros episodios, pero esta vez llevados quizá al extremo: con espías, política, manipulaciones psicológicas e incluso parapsicológicas y toda la tensión propia de este juego en los años más interesantes de la Guerra Fría. Os invitamos a pasar hoy con nosotros un rato enormemente divertido mucho más allá de las 64 casillas del tablero de ajedrez.

The ascension of Vladimir Putin - a former lieutenant colonel of the KGB - to the presidency of Russia in 1999 was a strong signal that the country was headed away from democracy. In the intervening years Putin has grown not only into a dictator but an international threat, but for too long the US and the world's other leading powers have continued to appease him. Now it's clear Putin is at the centre of a worldwide assault on political liberty and the modern world order. But will the Western allies mobilize too late to halt the rise of the authoritarians? ---------- Garry Kasparov is a Russian pro-democracy leader, global human-rights activist, business speaker and author, and former world chess champion. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in the Soviet Union in 1963, Garry Kasparov came to international fame at the age of 22 as the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985. He defended his title five times, including a legendary series of matches against arch-rival Anatoly Karpov. His famous matches against the IBM super-computer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence, and chess, into the mainstream. In 2005, Kasparov retired from professional chess to join the vanguard of the Russian pro-democracy movement. In 2012, Kasparov was named chairman of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation, succeeding Vaclav Havel. He is now considered to be Russia's leading dissident. ---------- LINKS: https://www.kasparov.com/ https://x.com/Kasparov63 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov ---------- BOOKS: The World After Ukraine (2025) Winter is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must be Stopped Hardcover (2015) Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins (2018) ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/russia-arrests-former-world-chess-32669346 https://www.politico.eu/article/chess-garry-kasparov-russia-extremist-list-honor/ https://rdi.org/articles/garry-kasparov-the-real-reason-putin-killed-navalny/ ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Aunque nunca aparezca en las noticias, el Ajedrez sigue vigente y tiene cada vez más seguidores, como lo demuestra la atención generada por el Mundial de Ajedrez de 2023. Voy a contaros como ha ido. El Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez es uno de los eventos más destacados en el mundo del ajedrez, donde los mejores jugadores del mundo compiten por el título de Campeón Mundial. Aunque mi conocimiento se encuentra actualizado hasta septiembre de 2021, puedo proporcionarte información general sobre el campeonato y su historia. El Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez ha tenido diferentes formatos a lo largo de los años, pero generalmente involucra un enfrentamiento entre el campeón defensor y un retador. Los campeonatos se han disputado tanto en partidas clásicas como en partidas rápidas y de ajedrez relámpago. El título de Campeón Mundial de Ajedrez ha sido ostentado por algunas de las leyendas del ajedrez, como Emanuel Lasker, José Capablanca, Mikhail Botvinnik, Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand, Magnus Carlsen, entre otros. El campeonato no solo es importante para los jugadores, sino que también es un evento de gran interés para la comunidad ajedrecística y los aficionados de todo el mundo. A menudo, las partidas son seguidas por una audiencia global en línea y se convierten en un tema de discusión en la comunidad ajedrecística. Para obtener información actualizada sobre el Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez en 2023, te recomendaría consultar el sitio web oficial de la Federación Internacional de Ajedrez (FIDE) o seguir las noticias de ajedrez en medios especializados en el tema.

Garry Kasparov es un gran maestro de ajedrez ruso. Desde 1984 hasta su retiro en 2005, Kasparov ocupó el puesto número 1 del mundo por un récord de 255 meses, un récord que supera a todos los demás jugadores anteriores y actuales. Se convirtió en el campeón mundial indiscutible de ajedrez más joven en 1985 a los 22 años al derrotar al entonces campeón Anatoly Karpov. En 1997 se convirtió en el primer campeón mundial en perder un partido contra una computadora cuando perdió contra la supercomputadora IBM Deep Blue en un partido muy publicitado. Kasparov es actualmente presidente de la Human Rights Foundation. Hoy nos alimentamos con sus sabias palabras: Para ser bueno en algo debes saber aplicar sus principios básicos. Para ser excelente, debes saber cuándo violar esos principios.
Hace más de diez años en El Abrazo del Oso hablamos de ajedrez y su reflejo en la historia. Para el fragmento que hemos escogido hoy de aquel programa realizado junto a nuestro compañero Francisco J.

Welcome to the December 2021 edition of “One Move at a Time,” the US Chess podcast in which Dan Lucas, the Senior Director of Strategic Communication, talks to people who are advancing the US Chess mission statement to “Empower people, enrich lives, and enhance communities through chess.” Our guest today is Grandmaster Maxim Dlugy, joining me in person from the 2021 National K-12 Grade Championships. He is here doing a simul, all-comers blitz, and lecture. He was born in Moscow when it was still in the Soviet Union, and arrived with his family in the United States in 1977. He won the World Junior Chess Championship in 1985 andwas awarded the Grandmaster title in 1986 for his result at the World Chess Olympiad in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Dlugy was formerly ranked number one in the world by the World Blitz Chess Association. His best finishes in the U.S. Championship were 3rd place finishes in 1984 and 87. He was elected president of the United States Chess Federation in 1990. Dlugy was one of the campaign managers, along with Garry Kasparov, for Anatoly Karpov when he ran for FIDE President in 2010.

Garry Kasparov became the under-18 chess champion of the USSR at the age of 12 and the world under-20 champion at 17. He came to international fame at the age of 22 as the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985. He defended his title five times, including a legendary series of matches against arch-rival Anatoly Karpov. Kasparov broke Bobby Fischer's rating record in 1990. His famous matches against the IBM super-computer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence, and chess, into the mainstream. Kasparov has been a contributing editor to The Wall Street Journal since 1991 and is a regular commentator on politics and human rights. He speaks frequently to business and political audiences around the world on technology, strategy, politics, and achieving peak mental performance. He is a Senior Visiting Fellow at the Oxford-Martin School with a focus on human-machine collaboration. He's a member of the executive advisory board of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics and a Security Ambassador for Avast Software, where he discusses cybersecurity and the digital future. Kasparov's book How Life Imitates Chess on strategy and decision-making is available in over 20 languages. He is the author of two acclaimed series of chess books, My Great Predecessors and Modern Chess. Kasparov's 2015 book, Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped is a blend of history, memoir, and current events analysis. Kasparov's next book is Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins. (May 2017) It details his matches against Deep Blue, his years of research and lectures on human and machine competition and collaboration, and his cooperation with the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford. He says,“AI will transform everything we do and we must press forward ambitiously in the one area robots cannot compete with humans: in dreaming big dreams. Our machines will help us achieve them. Instead of worrying about what machines can do, we should worry more about what they still cannot do.”
David Llada is one of the most prolific chess photographers in history, who has documented the highest levels of chess across the planet over the last two decades. As a former journalist and deeply devoted chess fan, he has poured his soul into forging friendships with chess players and into promoting the sport. On this week's episode of 64, I spoke to David about a wide range of topics, such as the essence of chess photography, his current job with FIDE as its Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, the chess boom in 2020, female representation in chess, and Anatoly Karpov anecdotes. David's book "The Thinkers" can be purchased on Amazon and he is currently working on a sequel. Until then, you can follow him on Twitter, @davidllada.

Twenty-six year-old Tunde Onakoya is one of the top 50 chess players in his native Nigeria (rated 2165 FIDE), and is the founder of a life-changing organization called Chess in Slums. This organization introduces chess to kids in the slums of Lagos, Nigeria, and uses the game as a learning tool to instill confidence and teach critical thinking. It's a much-needed program, because the kids learning about chess are often unable to go to school due to financial or other life circumstances. As Tunde tells us, he was one of those kids not that long ago. Tunde credits chess with changing his life and aims to do the same for the next generation. Tunde is also a musician, a tech aficionado, a speed chess lover, and he has a university degree in Computer Science. Despite his many talents, it is his work bringing chess to kids that inspires him the most, and Tunde joined me amidst a week where a swarm of media attention had helped convince him to devote even more time and energy to the Chess in Slums cause. Tunde tells an inspiring story which is still in its early stages. Please read on for more details, relevant links and timestamps of our interview. 0:00- We begin by discussing the hectic week that Tunde had preceding our interview, in the wake of a viral tweet of his about the Chess in Slums program, that begat lots of message and media requests. 7:30- Tunde tells the story of how he discovered chess during his own childhood, and how the game changed the trajectory of his life.

In 1978, the World Chess Championship between the Soviet champion and convinced communist, Anatoly Karpov, and the dissident and defector, Viktor Korchnoi, turned into one of the most infamous clashes in the history of the game. At a time of peak Cold War tension, the two players traded allegations about yoghurts containing messages, the use of psychics and the mysterious appearance of a meditating yoga cult dressed in orange robes. David Edmonds tells the story of the match through the memories of British grandmaster, Michael Stean, PHOTO: Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi squaring up in 1978 (Getty Images)
Drunk, sweary kitchen table podcasting has returned to your awaiting ears!!Listen as I fumble and slur my way tipsily through most of the latest barrage of this audio nonsense in the only podcast in existence that references both Anatoly Karpov and Boko Haram in the same episode. Where else can you hear THAT??? NOWHERE, IS WHERE!!!Need I mention again...this episode is drunk , sweary and most likely offensive so get around it if you dare. also ***SPOILER** it gets A LITTLE SAD and PHILOSOPHICAL AT THE END, so watch out for that.This episode brought to you by the word "flippant', the number 99 and the letter "C".
GM Keith Arkell is a constant presence in chess tournaments ranging from smaller British weekend tournaments, to big-stage open tournaments like the Chess.com Isle of Man International. Over the years, he has amassed dozens of tournament victories, including winning the 2014 European Over 50 Championship, and tying for first in the 2008 British Championships. Of course, Keith is best known for his legendary endgame prowess, and he shows off and explains his approach to endgames in his enjoyable and instructive new book, Arkell’s Endings. In our interview,Keith discusses the book, including his fascinating “hierarchy of pawns.” Keith shares some great chess tips as well as life reflections from a life spent wholly immersed in chess. As always, please read on for more details and timestamps. 0:00- We begin by discussing the genesis of Arkell’s Endings, as well as the origins of Keith’s legendary endgame skills.

How does he approach chess to minimize memorization? How does he characterize his chess style generally? Mentioned: IM John Bartholomew, GM Simon Williams 26:30- As a European senior champion what is Keith’s advice for other older players?

A estas alturas de la pandemia hay una historia que todavía no te hemos contado. Mediados de noviembre de 2019. En la radio acabamos de vivir el fin de semana de la Marca Sports Weekend en Marbella, seguro que lo recuerdas. Es un evento de conferencias y actos relacionados con el deporte y con un montón de estrellas: Boris Becker, Mike Powell, Anatoly Karpov, Sergio García, Del Bosque, Javi Fernández... El lunes 18 de de noviembre comenzaba la Copa Davis en Madrid con un nuevo formato. Una Copa Davis que íbamos a ganar días después con la selección de Nadal y compañía. Y en el fútbol hubo terremoto. Porque España goleó a Rumanía 5-0 en el Metropolitano. Y sí, aquel día fue la noche de cuchillos largos, el último partido de Robert Moreno como seleccionador. Al día siguiente Luis Enrique le llamaría desleal en rueda de prensa. Todos estábamos muy pendientes de todo eso y de muchas más cosas que estaban en el ocurriendo en el deporte y en nuestras vidas. Pero algo, aquellas horas, estaba ocurriendo justo en ese momento a 9714 kilómetros de la Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas. En la provincia de Hubei, en China, el 17 de noviembre de 2019, caía enfermo un hombre de 55 años. Aquel hombre fue el paciente cero del Covid-19. Este dato lo ha dado el periódico South China Morning Post que ha tenido acceso a documentos del Gobierno de Pekín. Ahora están tratando de identificarlo. Desde aquel día y hasta que acabó el mes de noviembre se estima que se infectaron entre 2 y 5 personas al día. La revista científica The Lancet ha situado el comienzo de la infección el 1 de diciembre, y para la Organización Mundial de la Salud es el 8 de diciembre el día del primer infectado oficial. Esto lo sabemos ahora. Pero entonces vivíamos en nuestros mundos de polémicas y videoarbitrajes. Pero allí, a 9714 kilómetros de las salas VOR el virus empezaba a multiplicarse sin que las autoridades chinas levantaran la voz. Fue en un grupo de WeChat, que es el Whatsapp que se usa allí. Un oftalmólogo de 34 años llamado Li Wenliang avisó a 150 alumnos de su facultad de medicina: cuidado, tenemos 7 casos con un extraño virus aquí en el hospital de Wuhan. Vienen de la zona del mercado. Puede que haya vuelto el SARS. Fue la primera vez que alguien levantó la mano para decir públicamente que algo estaba pasando. Y fue mes y medio después del primer infectado. El pantallazo de esa conversación de WeChat se propagó entre la población, paradójicamente se hizo viral, y en Año Nuevo ya muchos hablaban en Wuhan de un nuevo virus, un nuevo SARS, que son las iniciales del Síndrome Agudo Respiratorio Severo. Las autoridades chinas localizaron a Li Wenliang y le acusaron de propagar bulos y mentir. Fue llevado a una comisaría y a firmar una carta en la que se comprometía a no volver a divulgar bulos ni rumores. Eso ocurrió una semana después de su primer mensaje. El 8 de enero atendió en el hospital a una paciente con glaucoma, que todavía no presentaba síntomas, pero era portadora del nuevo virus. Le infectó. El día 10 Li Wenliang empezó a tener los primeros síntomas. Enfermó y tuvo que ser ingresado. Cuando ya no había cómo esconder la enfermedad, Li Wenliang se convirtió en un símbolo para millones de chinos. Era el rostro de lo mal que se había llevado esta crisis: ocultación, encubrimiento y amenazas. Una incompetencia total. El 1 de febrero recibió el diagnóstico y falleció unos días después. Desde su cama, unos días antes, hablaba con la CNN y reconocía que no se sentía bien y que tenía dificultades para respirar. Se sabe que el virus procede de un murciélago, pero se sospecha que ha tenido que pasar por otro animal, porque entonces, en noviembre y diciembre, los murciélagos de esa región de China estaban invernando. Esta crisis empezó allí, a 9714 kilómetros de distancia, hace 120 días. Parecen pocos días para recorrer tantos kilómetros, pero así es. La humanidad está pasando por uno de los momentos más difíciles de su historia. Una amenaza global, para todos los hombres y mujeres del planeta. Y el enemigo es invisible. Nunca antes habíamos sentido tantos que habíamos perdido la partida. Nunca habíamos dormido tan solos. Nunca habíamos sentido miedo del silencio, ni nos habíamos sentido tan arropados con un aplauso. Nunca como ahora se nos habían rebelado los recuerdos que nos ponen contra la pared. Si de algo está sirviendo esta crisis es para darnos cuenta de que aunque los vientos de la vida soplen fuerte, somos como juncos que se doblan pero siempre siguen en pie. Porque para seguir viviendo. Resistiremos. Este espacio se ha emitido antes de su publicación como podcast en el programa "A Diario" de Radio MARCA.

GM Jóhann Hjartarson is a legend of Icelandic Chess and has a firm place in the chess history books. He is best known for defeating GM Viktor Korchnoi in a match during the 1988 Candidates Cycle (before succumbing to Anatoly Karpov), but he is also the 6 time champion of Iceland, and the 2 time Nordic Champion. Jóhann took some time out from his duties at the World Championship in London, and we discussed the following: His impressions of the World Championship, and what his responsibilities were as a member of the Appeals Committee for the match. Perspective and stories from the height of his chess career, when he was among the top players in the world and crossed swords with all time greats like Kasparov, Karpov and Korchnoi. What led him to decide, at a time when he was near the peak of his chess powers, to transition from playing chess full time to working as a lawyer? Does he regret this decision? Has he kept up with the changes in study habits among world elites? What are his favorite chess books? This interview was quite a treat for me as a fan of chess history, and I think that you will enjoy it too. Thanks so much to Johann for sharing his experiences! This episode is brought to you in part by Chessable.comGM Hjartarson's favorite game of his own, Game 1 of his match vs. Korchnoi is here.
