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.

The Benko Gambit is back at the very highest level - and it's easy to see why. Black sacrifices a pawn to seize the initiative on the queenside, obtaining long-lasting pressure, active pieces and open files that make life difficult for White.
The Hyper-Accelerated dragon is fast, from the very first moves, your bishop heads to g7, seizes the long diagonal, and turns into the most feared piece on the board.
It rewards players who love initiative and clear attacking plans.
