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.
Tras una jornada de descanso con un programa social el lunes, las partidas clásicas de la fase de clasificación de ambos torneos se disputan entre el 14 y el 18 de julio. Los triatlones continuarán con la modalidad blitz el 19 de julio. Después de otra jornada de descanso el 20 de julio, llegarán las rondas finales del Masters y del Generations Challenge, con partidas clásicas del 21 al 23 de julio entre los cuatro mejores jugadores de cada sección.
En la sección de ajedrez clásico, el control de tiempo es de 120 minutos para las primeras 40 jugadas, seguido de 30 minutos para el resto de la partida, con un incremento de 30 segundos por jugada a partir de la jugada 41.
Mientras tanto, el Abierto Magistral, un torneo de sistema suizo con 10 jugadores, se disputa simultáneamente del 13 al 23 de julio. El control de tiempo es de 100 minutos para las primeras 40 jugadas, más 30 minutos para el resto de la partida y un incremento de 30 segundos por jugada.
This compact course is designed specifically for practical play. Instead of overwhelming you with endless theory, it focuses on the critical lines, typical plans, and recurring tactical ideas. Looking for an opening that gets your opponents thinking on move one? Grandmaster Andy Woodward has relied on 1.b3 for years in blitz and bullet, using it to defeat strong masters and grandmasters who underestimated its hidden venom. While many players dismiss the opening as harmless, they often find themselves caught in unfamiliar positions, tactical traps, and uncomfortable middlegames. This compact course is designed specifically for practical play. Instead of overwhelming you with endless theory, it focuses on the critical lines, typical plans, and recurring tactical ideas that matter most when the clock is ticking.

On this 60 mins video we are going to concentrate on a simple, very solid idea in the main line Scandinavian, which even Magnus Carlsen has used to win games. Black focusses on making his life easy in the opening and forces White to work very hard to get advantage – but it is doubtful if White can get an advantage. Club players are always on the lookout for effective, time-saving solutions and here we have just that. Accompany FIDE Senior Trainer and IM Andrew Martin on this 60 mins video. You can learn a new opening system in 60 mins and start to play it with confidence on the very same day!
