Blitz - Día 5
El Super Rapid & Blitz de Polonia es la primera etapa del Grand Chess Tour 2026. El torneo incluye partidas rápidas y de blitz.

El torneo de blitz, a doble vuelta, tendrá lugar los días 8 y 9 de mayo, con un control de tiempo de 5 minutos para toda la partida más incrementos de 2 segundos por jugada.

In this Fritztrainer: Attack like a Super GM, with Gukesh we touch upon all aspects of his play, with special emphasis on how you can become a better attacking player.
You will learn how Black's dynamic piece activity and structural counterplay more than compensate for White's extra tempo in the colour-reversed setups. The Benoni family of openings has toppled world champions, decided match games under the highest pressure, and rewarded those brave enough to play them with some of the most electrifying chess imaginable. In this Fritztrainer, Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov - continuing his successful series "Understanding Middlegame Structures" - takes you deep inside the complexities of the Colour-Reversed Benoni, the Colour-Reversed Benko Gambit, and the Colour-Reversed Blumenfeld Gambit.

29/04/2026 – La lista de participantes del Grand Chess Tour 2026 se ha modificado poco antes del inicio de la serie de torneos en mayo. Gukesh Dommaraju se ha retirado como «jugador regular» y Javokhir Sindarov ha sido nombrado como su reemplazo. De cualquier manera, los próximos contendientes al Campeonato Mundial se enfrentarán en la primera etapa a jugarse en Polonia. Levon Aronian se perderá el evento de Bucarest debido a una enfermedad y Jorden van Foreest (en la imagen) lo reemplazará como «jugador regular» del tour. | Foto: ChessBase / Nils Rohde
20/01/2026 – Este ensayo propone una mirada filosófica y simbólica del ajedrez como algo más que un juego de estrategia. A través del tablero y sus piezas, el texto explora el ajedrez como metáfora del cosmos, del conflicto humano y de la búsqueda de sentido. Desde las civilizaciones antiguas hasta la ciencia contemporánea, el artículo invita a contemplar el tablero como un espacio donde se entrelazan pensamiento, ética, arte y autoconocimiento, ofreciendo una reflexión serena sobre el orden, el caos y la armonía en la vida. | Imagen (IA): Uvencio Blanco Hernández
On this 60 mins video we are going to concentrate on a simple, very solid idea in the main line Scandinavian, which even Magnus Carlsen has used to win games. Black focusses on making his life easy in the opening and forces White to work very hard to get advantage – but it is doubtful if White can get an advantage. Club players are always on the lookout for effective, time-saving solutions and here we have just that. Accompany FIDE Senior Trainer and IM Andrew Martin on this 60 mins video. You can learn a new opening system in 60 mins and start to play it with confidence on the very same day!

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.
