El video n.º 131 del canal «Historias de Ajedrez» tiene como protagonista al maestro internacional argentino Benjamín Mela, quien repasa algunos de los episodios más significativos de su carrera. Nacido en 1978, Mela ha desarrollado una amplia labor como entrenador, comentarista y divulgador del ajedrez.
Durante la entrevista, Mela recuerda especialmente su etapa en España, donde consiguió las tres normas necesarias para obtener el título de maestro internacional, una por año entre 2004 y 2006. El análisis se centra en su victoria con negras frente al maestro internacional indio Konguvel Ponnuswamy, disputada en Manresa en 2004, resultado que le permitió obtener la primera de aquellas normas.
La conversación trasciende el análisis de una sola partida y aborda las características de tres grandes escuelas ajedrecísticas: la soviética, la china y la india. A partir de esta comparación, Mela recuerda a figuras fundamentales de la historia del deporte, entre ellas Mikhail Botvinnik, Viktor Korchnoi, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov y Borís Spasski.
También hay espacio para hablar del ajedrez argentino. Mela comenta las trayectorias de los grandes maestros Fernando Peralta y Alejandro Hoffman, y comparte su visión sobre jóvenes talentos de distintas generaciones: Candela Francisco, campeona mundial juvenil en 2023, y Faustino Oro, entre otros.
In this video course, experts including Dorian Rogozenco, Mihail Marin, Karsten Müller and Oliver Reeh, examine the games of Boris Spassky. Let them show you which openings Spassky chose to play, where his strength in middlegames were and much more.

King’s Indian fans who choose the Mar del Plata attack (7...Nc6) against White’s classical system (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0) usually aim for a complex position with mutual attacks on open wings, requiring long-term strategic planning and tactical sharpness in critical moments. Computers often do not know how to handle the arising complex strategic positions, which suits players who like to think on their own instead of memorizing long variations. However, the fashionable Bayonet Attack (9.b4) interferes with Black’s ideas. After Black’s main move 9...Nh5 the positions opens, the lines get forced and computer analysis is important again. But this DVD offers an antidote against White’s Bayonet Attack, namely 9...a5! This move leads to sound positions with very few concrete lines, in which the focus is on strategy not on tactics. Objectively chances are equal but if Black knows what to do things might quickly become dangerous for White.
