A Chess Biography

On 30 April 2023, in Astana, Kazakhstan, Chinese grandmaster Ding Liren sensationally defeated Russia’s Ian Nepomniachtchi in a dramatic battle for the chess crown.

At the final press conference, the new champion said the match ‘reflected the deepest of his soul’.

Die Réti-Eröffnung wird über die Züge 1. Sg1-f3 d7-d5 2. c2-c4 eingeleitet, soweit sie nicht unter Zugumstellungen auf dem Brett entsteht. Sie führt das Spiel regelmäßig in ruhige und positionell geprägte Stellungen und vermeidet frühe und taktisch dominierte Schlagabtäusche. Damit ist sie eine ideale Wahl für den Spieler, der seine Fähigkeiten besonders im Positionsspiel sieht und vor frühen taktischen Überraschungen geschützt sein möchte.

A Chess Biography of Boris Verlinsky

Born in Bakhmut, Ukraine, and brought up in Odessa, Boris Verlinsky (1888-1950) was the first holder of the grandmaster title in the Soviet Union, and he was consistently one of the top Soviet players in the 1920s.

The variation of the French that starts 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 (or 3 Nd2) 3 ... dxe4 is often called the Rubinstein Variation. It is a great way to simplify the position and ensure that the middlegame battle rewards strategic understanding rather than rote memorisation of opening moves. It is also a very useful weapon to defuse the attacking intentions of aggressive White players who plan an all-out assault in the main lines of the French Defence.

A Chess Biography of Vsevolod Rauzer

Vsevolod Rauzer, born in Kiev in 1908, was one of the world’s leading chess opening theoreticians and thinkers in the 1930s. As a player, he was an uncompromising attacker, trying to avoid draws as well as to prove that 1.e4 wins by force. According to Mikhail Botvinnik, “His opening research…with linked middlegame plans, gives us every reason to place V. Rauzer among the founders of the Soviet chess school.” Awarded the Master of Sport title in 1929, Rauzer’s best tournament performances included joint eighth place in the 1931 Soviet Championship, sixth in 1933 and eighth in 1937. According to Chessmetrics, he was ranked in the world’s top 30 for several years.
