Campeonato de Ajedrez de la Commonwealth 2011
Reportaje por Graham Jurgensen, convocante de los Campeonatos
La participación rompe todos los récords del campeonato: más de 700 jugadores aficionados (y fanáticos), se están dando cita en el "Emperors Palace Hotel Casino and Convention Centre", en Ekurhuleni
(Sudáfrica) para albergar el Campeonato de la Commonwealth y los Campeonatos Sudafricanos de Ajedrez 2011. Participan más de 40 jugadores titulados y uno de ellos es el campeón, el GM inglés Nigel
Short. Hay también un contingente de jugadores indios muy fuertes, entre ellos
el ex campeón juvenil Abhijeet Gupta y la MI Harika Dronovalli.
Unos cuantos jugadores se personaron en el lugar un poco antes del torneo
para disfrutar de un safari en el Parque Nacional Kruger. Ver a los animales de esa manera y desde tan cerca tiene que ser indescriptible.
