Historias de ajedrez

In this video course, experts (Pelletier, Marin, Müller and Reeh) examine the games of Viktor Korchnoi. Let them show you which openings Korchnoi chose to play, where his strength in middlegames were, or how he outplayed his opponents in the endgame.
El video n.º 130 del canal «Historias de Ajedrez» está dedicado al GM Diego Flores, campeón argentino 2025. En esta nueva entrega, el gran maestro juninense comparte algunas de las partidas que marcaron su camino hacia un nuevo título nacional, alcanzado en una edición especial del campeonato, la del centenario.
Flores consiguió en Buenos Aires su octavo Campeonato Argentino, tras haber ganado también las ediciones de 2005, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2018 y 2019. Con esta nueva conquista, igualó el récord histórico de Miguel Najdorf como máximo ganador del certamen. Su resultado final, 8½ puntos en 11 rondas (sin derrotas), confirmó su sitial como uno de los ajedrecistas argentinos más fuertes de la historia en un torneo cerrado de alto nivel.
En la nota, Flores analiza tres partidas que considera importantes dentro de su recorrido hacia el título de 2025: las tablas con negras frente al MI Mario Villanueva, su victoria con blancas ante el MI Julián Villca y el triunfo con negras frente al MI Faustino Oro (ahora gran maestro). Esta última partida fue una de las más esperadas del torneo, tanto por la relevancia del ascenso meteórico del joven maestro argentino —el «Messi del ajedrez»— como por el peso que tuvo en la lucha por los primeros puestos.
La propuesta del video combina el repaso deportivo de un campeonato histórico con el análisis directo de su protagonista. Flores explica decisiones críticas, momentos prácticos y recursos que le permitieron mantenerse invicto hasta el final.
In this video course experts examine the games of Bent Larsen. Let them show you which openings Larsen chose, where his strength in middlegames were, how he outplayed his opponents in the endgame & you’ll get a glimpse of his tactical abilities! Bent Larsen (1935–2010) was the greatest chess player in Danish history, and for a time, the second-strongest player in the Western world behind Bobby Fischer. Between 1954 and 1971, he won the Danish Championship six times, and achieved numerous international tournament victories throughout his career.

For a long time the Scotch opening was considered harmless and rarely played. This changed in 1990 when Garry Kasparov successfully employed the Scotch opening in his World Championship match against Anatoly Karpov. But that was 25 years ago. Now, there is no need to panic if you want to play 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 and need a line against the Scotch. On this 60 Minutes renowned and successful coach Adrian Mikhalchishin gives simple practical tips how to neutralize and counter the Scotch.

Slav and Semi-Slav Powerbase 2026 is a database and contains a total of 11 766 games from Mega 2026 or the Correspondence Database 2026, of which 1136 are annotated.
For the Slav and Semi-Slav Powerbook 2026 the ratings average was set again at 2400. 2.24 million games from the engine room of playchess.com met this threshold, to which were added over 130 000 games played by humans.
In this volume, we dive into core aspects of chess technique. Smyslov taught the principle of tactical hierarchy, “checks, double attacks, and unprotected pieces”, and Mikhalchishin demonstrates how this method of calculation is vital.
