One has to Try to win the children's chess before they learn and then be impossible. Of that can attest the parents of Carlsen or Capablanca, But also in its own way Viswanathan Anand in the 38th Magistral City of León. The Pentacampeón del Mundo suffered much more than expected to overcome the Argentine Faustino Oro, 11in the first semifinal of the 38th Magistral City of León. The great Indian teacher He needed to go to Lightning Damages after 2-2 in the games at a rate of 20 minutes plus 10 additional seconds per movement. And there, his experience and the best time management ended up qualifying for the final for 1.5-0.5.
Distant It seems the match that these players held a month ago in Pietrasanta (Italy)under the patronage of the great tenor and chess fan Andrea bochelli. So, Anand easily won 2-0. However, today the story has been totally different, and Gold has at some time knocked out at 10 times winner of the city of León.
The First and third semifinal departure have been very matched with alternatives for the two sides. Anand had no problem entering tactical positions in which gold feels very comfortable, and chose in the two games with the white pieces a variant of the anti-Marshall system the Spanish opening. In the exchange of blows the Argentine player gave anand at all times, who signed two tables and never had practical victory options.
In the second, Gold was one step away from immortalizing Anand And this, when the defeat seemed almost safe with a winning attack and a threatening pawn in the seventh row, was saved after several inaccuracies contrary with an unexpected resource tactical resource that forced the repetition of positions under penalty of receiving mate check. A distribution of the point in 52 movements who put the scare in the body to the champion.
Everything was waiting for the fourth departure, in which Orowith White, at all times the initiative, although Anand, as throughout the meeting, had several minutes of advantage. But on this occasion, the young talent better administered his time And he achieved a position in which the Indian could not try to speculate waiting for the opposite error.
In the many times Lottery of the Disapats, Anand, always watching his watch, the first game was awarded And in the second he got the tables in an end in which he was curiously lost in an instant. Of course without time and with the help of computer programs everything is easy.
