Triatlón - Rápidas
El domingo 12 de julio comienza el Triatlón de las secciones Masters y Generations Challenge, con la sección de ajedrez rápido.
Después de un día de descanso con programa social el lunes, entre el 14 y el 18 de julio se disputarán las partidas clásicas de la fase clasificatoria de ambos torneos. Los triatlones continuarán con ajedrez blitz el 19 de julio. Tras otro día de descanso el 20 de julio, llegarán las rondas finales del Masters y la Generations Challenge, con partidas clásicas del 21 al 23 de julio entre los cuatro mejores jugadores de cada sección.
En rápidas, el ritmo de juego es de 15 minutos para la partida más 5 segundos de incremento 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.

After 1.d4 d5 many players with White avoid the great amount of theory in the Slav, Semi-Slav, QGA and Orthodox Queen's Gambit and do not therefore play 2.c4. This is not very ambitious, but the painful experience of many chess players has been that the Colle System, the Trompowsky Attack, the Torre Attack and the London System are nevertheless extremely dangerous. Black has to be prepared for each of these openings and IM Valeri Lilov offers you some help with his six instructive videos, in which he demonstrates for each single opening a relevant plan for Black. In addition to the openings mentioned, the Bulgarian trainer also delves into the Catalan, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and the Richter-Veresov Opening.
