Leon Luke Mendonca es un gran maestro indio de Goa, India. Se convirtió en maestro internacional a la edad de 12 años y 11 meses, y obtuvo su título de GM a los 14 años.
Tras su victoria en Saint Louis le felicité por Skype y añadí: "Recuérdame, ¿por qué te saltaste el Torneo de Candidatos en Toronto?". Su respuesta: "Lol. No me saltaré el próximo".
No es improbable: este chico lo tiene claro. Recordemos que hace un año, Leon sorprendió al mundo del ajedrez al ganar el 27º German Hit GM Open 2023 con una puntuación perfecta de 9/9. Acababa de cumplir 17 años. Acababa de cumplir 17 años por aquel entonces, y había rendido a un nivel de 3196. Aquí tienes un reportaje sobre aquel éxito. A principios de este año, Leon ganó el torneo del grupo Tata Steel Challengers en Wijk aan Zee, de forma rotunda. Después del torneo vino a Hamburgo y se quedó en el piso de ChessBase, grabando material para nosotros. Tuvimos otro visitante en ese momento...

Este fue el primer cursillo Fritztrainer que Leon Mendonca grabó para ChessBase:
He writes: “People did not take 1.Nf3 d5 2.e3 too seriously until recently, when online chess started becoming popular due to the pandemic, as this opening was used frequently. I discovered how venomous this opening was when I was trying to find a way to play against it with black, and to my surprise this was not easy. Vincent Keymer uses this opening in a huge percentage of his games and gets great positions and results with them. With this opening, White avoids mainstream theory, and there is more than one possibility for each move. The opening is a mix of positional and attacking elements depending on what system black chooses. I think most club-level players would not know how to effectively counter this opening.”

One of the major battlegrounds of the Queen’s Gambit Declined is the Catalan, and against it Zwirs chose an ambitious strategy: accept the pawn and hold onto it with …c6 and …b5, aiming for an unbalanced fight from the very start.
In almost every chess game there comes a moment when you just can’t go on without tactics. You must strike to not giving away the advantage you have worked for the whole game.
