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.

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.
