Bobby Fischer mira fijamente las piezas del ruso Boris Spassky, llevan tantas horas jugando que es difícil no pensar en los siguientes movimientos del rival. Spassky es el estereotipo del ruso, frío pero atento, callado pero determinante. Detrás de ellos hay otra competencia; la Guerra Fría entre Estados Unidos y la extinta Unión Soviética. Eso lo saben Fischer y Spassky, por lo  que en el Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez de 1972 las tensiones y cada movimiento es fríamente calculado. Finalmente, tenemos un ganador. ¿Quieres saber quién fue? Acá te lo contamos.

Cada xoves abrimos unha fiestra para visibilizar proxectos relacionados coa igualdade. Hoxe falamos con Kim Llobet sobre a figura de Judit Polgár, Mestra do xadréz. "Judit Polgár bateu o récord de Bobby Fischer converténdose en Gran Mestra aos 15 anos". "En 2005 conseguiu situarse no posto número 8 da lista absoluta, completamente dominada por homes". "Gañou a cada un deles en todas as modalidades de partida, tanto rápidas como lentas. Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Anand, Fishcher, Carlsen..". Judit Polgár bateu o récord de Bobby Fischer converténdose en Gran Mestra aos 15 anos. Despois de renunciar aos campionatos femininos, converteuse en integrante do equipo da selección olímpica de xadrez masculina do seu país durante oito edicións. Desde 1989 ata a súa retirada das competicións en 2014 mantívose como número 1 na lista de mellores mulleres xadrecistas do mundo, e en 2005 conseguiu situarse no posto número 8 da lista absoluta, completamente dominada por homes. Ao longo de toda a súa traxectoria como xadrecista e posto que as súas habilidades estaban ao nivel da elite deportiva, a moza tivo a oportunidade de medirse ás figuras máis reputadas da historia. E de feito gañou a cada un deles en todas as modalidades de partida, tanto rápidas como lentas. Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Anand, Fishcher, Carlsen... ningún librouse da excepcional xenialidade de Polgár.

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.

En el capítulo de hoy hablamos con Txelu Fernández, subcampeón del mundo sénior en 2022, leyenda viva de este noble deporte. Txelu ha jugado con todos los campeones del mundo contemporáneos, excepto con Bobby Fischer y Magnus Carlsen. Nacido en Portugalete, el encuentro en Reikiavik entre Spassky y Fischer (1972), y el hallazgo por casualidad de un club de ajedrez le inspiraron tanto que, con solo 16 años, decidió convertirse en ajedrecista. ¿Cuánto ha cambiado el ajedrez desde entonces? Charlar con Txelu es, sin duda, todo un lujo. En ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas', rendimos homenaje a Emanuel Lasker, el campeón del mundo amigo de Lasker. El físico alemán consideró al ajedrecista una de las personas más interesantes que había conocido. En ‘Jaque, captura, amenaza', el maestro Luisón nos cuenta qué piensa acerca de la apertura inglesa. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal', recibimos el saludo y la pregunta de Pablo Tierraseca, campeón del mundo en la ficción del cortometraje ‘La ambición de Marie' (2024)

Es poco conocido, pero, en el mítico duelo entre Fischer y Spassky de Reikiavik (1972), Geller no solo fue la mano derecha de Spassky, sino que acusó a Fischer y a su equipo de estar jugando sucio. A partir de esta acusación, el ‘match' se suspendió y se inspeccionó palmo a palmo la sala de juego.

Book Recap #36- The King: Chess Pieces by GM Jan Hein Donner (with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam)

The Perpetual Chess Book Review series, Chess Books Recaptured is finally back! I am honored to be joined by renowned author and chess journalist Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam to discuss GM Jan Hein Donner's The King: Chess Pieces. The book is widely considered a 20th century classic and has been recommended by the likes of GMs Peter Svidler and Jan Gustafsson. It is a compilation of chess columns from a 3-time Dutch national champion, who spanned the chess generations between Max Euwe and Jan Timman. Donner is a brilliant, prescient and provocative writer who chronicles his own career, and also opines as the careers of Fischer, Spassky, Tal and others unfold in his proximity. Reading The King is a fun way to retrace 20th-century chess history, and the life and career of Donner. But, in my opinion, the book is not without its flaws. Donner's writing is sometimes offensive, particularly when he bombastically shares his views about women in chess. I was grateful to have Dirk Jan help me discern whether Donner was being sarcastic in some of his more scathing columns. After we finish discussing the book, I chat with Dirk Jan a bit about his current projects, and his work on New in Chess' excellent new podcast.

Ivano Porpora"Un re non muore"Corso letterario di scacchiUtet Librihttps://www.utetlibri.it/«Sono giunto alla conclusione che non tutti gli artisti sono giocatori di scacchi, ma che tutti i giocatori di scacchi sono artisti.»Marcel DuchampIn una delle definizioni più celebri e precise riferite agli scacchi, il campione del mondo Garri Kasparov definì il gioco delle sessantaquattro case «lo sport più violento che esista», mirato alla distruzione mentale dell'avversario. Per Anatolij Karpov, che con Kasparov diede vita a un'interminabile contesa per il titolo di migliore al mondo, gli scacchi sono una combinazione di arte, scienza e sport. E non è certo un caso se Marcel Duchamp ne rimase rapito al punto da abbandonare una carriera di artista acclamato e rivoluzionario per dedicarsi agli scacchi a tempo pieno, sfidando tra gli altri Salvador Dalí, la scrittrice Eve Babitz e il compositore John Cage. Del resto, chiunque abbia provato il piacere tattile di spostare un pezzo sulla scacchiera sa che gli scacchi sono molto più di un semplice passatempo. Per Ivano Porpora, romanziere e insegnante di scrittura, gli scacchi non sono solo una passione folgorante, ma un filtro attraverso cui leggere la realtà. Il matto affogato, il gambetto, l'apertura spagnola e le sue varianti diventano un simbolo, ogni strategia una metafora, ogni scelta un bivio cruciale verso l'unico destino possibile di una partita: l'ultima mossa fatale. Dal trionfo più glorioso alla disfatta più epica, ogni partita è una narrazione a sé stante, frutto dell'unione e dello scontro di due personalità uniche capaci di trasformare la fitta trama di combinazioni in un'opera. Le imprese dei grandi scacchisti, le combinazioni di Tal' e le intuizioni di Fischer o Capablanca assomigliano ai versi dell'Achmatova o di Brodskij, ai racconti di Šalamov, alle inquadrature di Herzog. Come i grandi artisti possono far risuonare la propria opera nel quotidiano, così il gioco degli scacchi si propaga al di là dell'ossessiva combinazione di case bianche e nere, parlandoci del possibile e dell'infinito, della nostalgia e del coraggio, ma soprattutto del nostro bisogno di provare a interpretare la realtà. Ivano Porpora è nato a Viadana, in provincia di Mantova. Ha pubblicato i romanzi La conservazione metodica del dolore (Einaudi, 2012), Nudi come siamo stati (Marsilio, 2017) e L'Argentino (Marsilio, 2018).

I invite you to call to mind the great contests of the recent past. Ali versus Foreman! Fischer versus Spassky! Federer versus Nadal! Gatting versus Warne! Actually, maybe scratch that last one - but you get the picture. These were titanic tussles with everything at stake, all to play for, and no quarter given. Glorious triumphs and disastrous defeats that could bring a tear to even a psychopath's eye.  Now, in a worldwide first (we assume), we give you the Battle of the Small Caps! Chief adjudicators of this soon to be fabled duel include Marcus Burns from Spheria and Chris Stott from 1851 Capital. In this very special thematic episode of Buy Hold Sell, the two small-cap specialists pit fan favourites against each other and crown winning stocks from each sector, leaving the rest out to dry. We'll pit NRW Holdings against Mader Group. Temple and Webster against Nick Scali. CSR against Fletcher Building. And Pro Medicus against Healius.  And just because we are feeling generous, our fundies also throw in two exciting opportunities within the small-cap arena.  Who knew that Buy Hold Sell could get any better?  Note: This episode was filmed on 27 May 2021.

El ajedrez es el juego de la vida. Lucha de clases sobre un tablero en el que los peones son pequeños y valerosos sirvientes de su rey y son sacrificados cuando les llega el turno, para dar paso a las piezas mayores. Esta semana os traemos un puñado de historias de peones, caballos, alfiles, torres, damas y, como no, también reyes. Y además aprovechamos para presentar al mundo entero el Gambito del Can, una apertura kamikaze que te llevará tus partidas al ajedrez a la ruina, o al éxito. De ti depende. Nos acompaña en el estudio Pedro Lópeh, del programa El Café de Silverio, y profesor de ajedrez en la vida real. Estas semanas atrás leíamos el libro "El Peón", de Paco Cerdá, publicado por la Editorial Pepitas, que, a través de los 77 movimientos de la partida entre Arturo Pomar y Bobby Fischer en Estocolmo 1962, recorre las vidas de numerosos «peones» entregados a una causa política en la España franquista o en los Estados Unidos de Kennedy en aquel convulso 1962. Comunistas, maquis, obreros, socialistas, etarras, cristianos, republicanos, estudiantes o falangistas; afroamericanos, pacifistas, indígenas, activistas antinucleares, izquierdistas o militares de obediencia ciega. Personas que se sacrificaron ante la dictadura o el capitalismo pagando un precio de muerte, cárcel, exilio o soledad. Por otra parte, Pedro Lópeh conduce el programa de radio El Café de Silverio, mucho más que flamenco. Ya lo hemos dicho, pero lo repetimos: el mejor programa musical de la piel de toro. Pedro, en la vida real, entre otras cosas también es profesor de ajedrez, aunque en cierta ocasión alguien en Madrid le dijo que no tenía acento de serlo. ¿Qué acento tiene que tener un profesor de ajedrez? El clasismo y la cabronancia tienen mil caras. Y así es como se nos ocurrió hacer este programa, recorriendo también el resto de las piezas del ajedrez que no están en el libro de Paco Cerdá. Caballo, alfil, torre, dama y rey. Venga, y una de peones, también. Y que fuese Pedro Lópeh, con su acento de no ser profesor de ajedrez, quien nos acompañase en el estudio. Así revisitamos la partida del siglo en el mundial de ajedrez de 1972 en Reikiavik entre Fischer y Spassky, dos peones al servicio de intereses más altos durante la Guerra Fría, que fueron sacrificados a su debido tiempo, después de jugarse el honor político de Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética sobre un tablero. En nuestra partida tenemos un caballo protagonista, Imperioso, y como no, también Jesús Gil y sus 30.000 licencias de construcción inmobiliaria en Marbella al margen de la ley durante una década completa. ¿Asesoró imperioso a Jesús Gil y Antonio Cerezo para hacerse con el 97% de las acciones del Atlético de Madrid sin poner ni un puto duro? Nuestro alfil se llama Courtney Love, y recorre las casillas blancas en diagonal. Sin salirse. Más allá de la misoginia del punk que la culpa de la destrucción de Nirvana, detectamos dos corrientes de bandas con mujeres al frente que toman las riendas del punk en los 90. Cada una por su fila, sin salirse y sin coincidir con las otras. Por un lado tenemos a Bikini Kill y Bratmobile y por el otro a L7 o Hole. Tenemos dos aproximaciones para tomar el mundo del rock, una abiertamente feminista y militante y la otra no, que aboga por tomar el escenario “simplemente” tocando. Un ataque por dos flancos, en parte enfrentados, pero complementarios. Tenemos la torre cargada de dinamita y liderada por David Alfaro Siqueiros, mexicano de nacimiento, pronto eligió los dos caminos que le ocuparían toda su vida: las bellas artes y la política de mancharse las manos. En la Guerra Civil española fue conocido como El Coronelazo, mientras liquidaba anarquistas o les enviaba a misiones suicidas. Peleó por el bando republicano, pero sus desaveniencias con las decisiones tomadas respecto a las Brigadas Internacionales le llevaron a disparar a la propia bandera republicana y abandonar el campo de batalla: "estos hijos de puta quieren perder su guerra". Poco después estaba dirigiendo un festín de balas en un atentado fallido contra Trotsky. Nuestra dama se mueve en diagonal y horizontal, desde Madrid a Toulouse y de París a Barcelona. Federica Montseny, una una dama de la lucha, del compromiso y una valiente, haciendo política cuando a las mujeres no se las dejaba participar. Viviendo la ignominia y la represión tras la guerra en el exilio, como mujer, como anarquista, como todas las luchadoras de su tiempo. Y finalizamos con el rey blanco: Sito Miñanco. El libro de Nacho Carretero, "Fariña", y sus extensiones en formato serie televisiva y espectáculo teatral, la figura de Sito Miñanco ha visto su popularidad disparada. Llegando a toda una generación que no recuerda los telediarios de la Operación Nécora y la posterior detención de Sito. En aquel momento su nombre pasó al imaginario popular y después de aquello el silencio alrededor de su personaje. Silencio, no para todos: la banda Os Papaqueixos declaraban a Sito preso político en su tema "TeknoTrafikante". Aurrera! Eso en el 99. Años más tarde, en 2012, se volvían a juntar con motivo de la llegada a Feijoo a la presidencia de la Xunta: el retorno del fascismo a Galicia, después de años de fraguismo. El Gambito del Can De paso, en este programa aprovechamos para hacer la presentación mundial del Gambito del Can, una apertura muy perra que jamás haría Deep Blue, pero que os la proponemos para que sorprendáis a vuestros contrincantes. Si os lleva a la ruina o al éxito, eso ya depende de vosotros. Aquí la explicamos: Un gambito es una forma de iniciar una partida de ajedrez en la que uno de los bandos sacrifica un peón, perdiendo material a cambio de contrajuego o de ganar iniciativa. Abusas de la glotonería del contrario pero consigues ventaja de espacio. Muchas aperturas en el ajedrez tienen nombre. Esta no, porque no se suele jugar. Así que se lo ponemos nosotros: el Gambito del Can. Una apertura para corazones intrépidos: 1. c4 – c5 2. b4! – ... Aquí planteamos el gambito. Ofrecemos un peón a cambio de marcha. Es como tirar una piedra a la cristalera de un banco. Fluye la adrenalina, haces saltar las alarmas, la noche es oscura y sus armas vienen a por ti. Pero haces lo que debes. Coges tu segundo peón por la izquierda, lo adelantas dos casillas y gritas a la cara de tu oponente: Do the right thing! Por muy épico que te pongas, el jugador negro es un cabrón materialista y te come el peón. Fijo. 2. .... - cxb4 3. g3! - … En el tercer movimiento, el jugador blanco no intenta recuperar el peón perdido, sino conseguir el máximo desarrollo posible, sacando los alfiles por las diagonales principales, uno por Via Laietana y el otro bajando por Carretas para dominar Sol antes de que el contrario saque sus alfiles con bocachas y sus torres lacrimógenas. ¡¡¡Ganan blancas!!!

這是2004年3月25日的一集節目,講了三個天才的故事。 在16年前的3月份,有三本講天才的書出版,我們當時在一集節目中,一口氣把這三本書所介紹的三個天才/怪才的故事,講給大家聼。 現在回顧起來,還是覺得挺有意思的。第一個介紹的人是國際象棋鬼才Bobby Fischer,寫他的那本書,名字叫《Bobby Fischer 參戰》Bobby Fischer Goes to War。 他的怪才體現在1972年大戰俄羅斯大師Spassky 的大戰。因爲當時正處在冷戰時期,所以那次的系列比賽成爲兩個陣營對壘的象徵。美蘇兩國舉國為他們加油,Bobby奪得最後的勝利。第二個人物是兩百多年前的法國奇人Jean-François Champollion。 寫他的故事的那本書叫《語言學家和國王》The Linguist and the Emperor。 他很小的時候就對古代的語言感興趣。上小學的時候,把拉丁語、希臘語、希伯來語、阿拉伯語和波斯語都學習得非常精通。而且小小的他,自己編寫了一本2000頁的字典,是埃及一個已經死亡的語言的字典。 當法國軍隊進入埃及發現羅塞塔石上面的神秘文字後,他那本字典破譯了這個神秘的問題。接下來,他又破譯了古希臘的象形文字。第三個是美國密西根州農村的一個孩子,名字叫David Hahn。講他故事的那本書名字是《有放射性的童子軍男孩》The Radioactive Boy Scout。 他從小就對核子反應堆感興趣! 他居然可以利用土法提煉出核原料。 後來他在“企業號”航空母艦上當水生。這三個人的結局都不太好。但時隔這麽多年,了解一下這三個人物,算是一種補課吧。

Segja má að úrslit fylkiskosninga í Bæjaralandi um helgina hafi valdið pólitískum jarðhræringum. CSU, systurflokkur kristilegra, sem hefur verið einráður í fylkinu í 60 ár galt mikið afhroð. Það sama átti við um jafnaðarmenn (SPD) sem misstu helming fylgis síns frá síðustu kosningum og fóru niður fyrir 10 af hundraði, sem er einsdæmi í áratugi. Á sama tíma nánast tvöfölduðu Græningjar fylgi sitt í þessu íhaldssama fylki. Arthúr Björgvin Bollason í Berlín fór yfir þetta og sagði frá andófi gegn útlendingahatri. - Sveitarstjórnir landsins fara með mikilvægt stjórnsýslustig. Það fer oftast fram utan kastljóss fjölmiðlanna nema auðvitað þegar átök geisa og hneykslismál koma upp. Aldís Hafsteinsdóttir, bæjarstjóri í Hveragerði, var nýverið kjörin formaður Sambands íslenskra sveitarfélaga. Hún kom á Morgunvaktina og spjallaði um sveitarstjórnarstigið, stöðu þess og verkefnin fram undan. - 1972 beindust augu alheimsins að Íslandi þegar Fischer og Spassky öttu kappi í Laugardalshöll um heimsmeistaratitilinn í skák í, því sem kallað var, einvígi aldarinnar. Nú vill Skáksamband Íslands endurtaka leikinn. Það vill að heimsmeistaraeinvígið 2022 fari fram á Íslandi. Gunnar Björnsson, forseti Skáksambandsins, er nýkominn heim frá Georgíu þar sem Ólympíumótið í skák fór fram og nýr forseti Alþjóðaskáksambandsins, FIDE, var kjörinn. Hann ræði heimsmeistaraeinvígið og stöku skáklistarinnar. - Út eru komið þriggja binda verk, Tilbrigði í íslenskri setningagerð, þar sem fjöldi fræðamanna fjallar um íslenskt mál, t.d. ýmislegt sem oft er kennt við sýki eða vont mál, eins og þágufallssýki. Útbreiðsla ýmissa setningagerða var könnuð og má lesa niðurstöður í þessu ritverki. Ritstjóri var málfræðingurinn Höskuldur Þráinsson, prófessor emeritus.

Bobby Fischer Against The World is a new documentary about the rise and fall of the legendary American chess player and his 1972 match with Boris Spassky. The film explores Fischer’s rapid rise to national fame and the political significance of his clash with Spassky, which attracted global media coverage as a wider Cold War confrontation between America and Russia. It then delves into the later years of his life as he effectively retired at the peak of his career and became a wandering enigma, exiled from his own country, making controversial statements after 9/11, before eventually retreating to Iceland where he died in 2008. Directed by Liz Garbus, it premiered at Sundance earlier this year and mixes rare archive footage and photos with interviews from those close to Fischer as well as figures such as Gary Kasparov and Henry Kissinger. I recently spoke to Liz in London at the offices at Dogwoof, who are releasing the film in the UK on July 15th Find out more about the film at www.bobbyfischermovie.co.ukFile Download (0:00 min / 23 MB)
