03/08/2021 – Más allá de cada partida, la excelencia en la práctica del ajedrez, sea al nivel que sea, requiere también de un esfuerzo y dedicación que puede llegar a absorber o desviar las otras facetas de la vida del ajedrecista. Se ha dicho no sin exagerar demasiado que el ajedrez no es un juego, sino una enfermedad.Podemos despreocuparnos, hasta cierto punto, de cómo sobrelleva el adulto esta enfermedad, esta adicción. En cambio, no podemos pasarla por alto cuando se trata de niños. Les llevamos al ajedrez porque sabemos que va a acelerar su desarrollo cognitivo, primero empujándoles a superar el Rubicón egocentrista de los siete años, después desarrollando su capacidad de cálculo, de manejo mental de símbolos y operaciones, que tanto les va a ayudar en las clases de matemáticas o en la descodificación fluida del nuevo código lingüístico escrito que están aprendiendo. Deberíamos impedir que el ajedrez fuera para algunos de ellos causa de sufrimiento. Ganar o morir no debe ser una lección para niños.

07/01/2021 – Hace unas semanas Felipe Martín publicó un artículo en su blog "MetaJaque", a propósito de la provocadora cita de Unamuno “el ajedrez desarrolla la inteligencia, sí, pero sólo para jugar al ajedrez”. Y hace poco, en sentido contrario, un artículo del filósofo y pedagogo Nicola Lococo interpretando el diálogo entre los dos jugadores de una partida de ajedrez como un ejercicio de mayéutica socrática: es decir, como un paradigma de praxis intelectual entre dos personas que colaboran en la búsqueda del conocimiento cuestionándose el uno al otro. ¿Pueden conciliarse puntos de vista tan opuestos? Veamos. | Imagen: El Pequeño Fritz 4 (de la versión alemana)
You will learn how Black's dynamic piece activity and structural counterplay more than compensate for White's extra tempo in the colour-reversed setups.
In this course, you’ll learn how to take the initiative against the London and prevent White from comfortably playing their usual system by playing 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 Nh5.
London System Powerbase 2026 is a database and contains in all 11 285 games from Mega 2026 and the Correspondence Database 2026, of which 282 are annotated.
The London System Powerbook 2026 is based on more than 410 000 games or game fragments from different opening moves and ECO codes; what they all have in common is that White plays d4 and Bf4 but does not play c4.
In this course, Grandmaster Elisabeth Pähtz presents the London System, a structured and ambitious approach based on the immediate Bf4, leading to rich and dynamic positions.
Opening videos: Open Spanish (Sipke Ernst) and Classical Sicilian (Nico Zwirs). Endgame Special by Igor Stohl: ‘Short or long side’ – where should the defending king be placed in rook endgames? ‘Lucky bag’ with 35 master analyses.
