自閉症
浦志强 (Pǔ Zhìqiáng) speaking to the press under close watch by plainclothes policemen, not pictured, at his office in Běijīng, June 1, 2009. (Elizabeth Dalziel/AP Images).
In late January, Chinese authorities announced that they are considering formal charges against Pǔ Zhìqiáng, one of China’s most prominent human rights lawyers, who has been in detention since last May. Pǔ’s friends fear that even a life sentence is possible. The crime? “Picking fights and causing trouble”, and other related offenses, on his microblog. Even amid a growing wave of repression under the leadership of Xí Jìnpíng, the outlandish nature of these pending charges stands out. Pǔ’s short, Twitter-like posts to his Wēibó account are unusual for their cleverness, but do not really stand out by the standards of the Chinese Internet. After the authorities’ list of allegedly criminal posts was leaked, comments like this appeared: “What’s so new? We’ve been talking like this for years” and “If these are crimes, can the prisons hold a few million more?”. [Read more]. |

Position #880
1. b3 Nf6. The g7-Pawn was attacked. 2. Bxf6. White voluntarily cedes the Bishop-pair, in the hope that his unbroken Pawn formation may tell in the ending. Other lines of play are 2. f4 c5 or 2. c4 c5 (2. ... b5!?). 2. ... exf6 3. c4
Ng6 4. Nf3 b6 5. e3 0-0 6. d4 c5 7. d5 b5 8. 0-0. If 8. cxb5 then 8. ... Qa5+ regaining the Pawn with interest, thanks to the weakness of d5. 8. ... bxc4 9. bxc4 Ne5 10. Ng3 g6 11. h4. Unnecessarily weakening his position. We would have preferred 11. Nd2 f5 and, on the whole, chances are about even. 11. ... Ng4 12. Ne4 f5 13. Neg5 Bd6 14.
h5 Be7 15. Nh3 d6 16. g3 Bf6 17. Kg2 Re8 18. Qd2 Rb8 19. hxg6 hxg6 20. Nf4
Bb7 21. Rh1 Ba6 22. Qd3. A pointless move. Better was 22. Bd3, whereupon Black could answer 22. ... Re7 (intending ... Re7-b7). 22. .. Rb2 23. Rc2 Qb6
24. Nd2 Ne5 25. Qe2 Qb4 26. Rxb2 Qxb2. Black’s preponderance of power on the a-side will soon become decisive.
27. Nd3. White’s last hope was 27. Ne4!, although – luckily enough – after 27. ... Nxc4 28. Nxf6+ Qxf6 29. Bd3 Qc3 it appears that Black can hold his own. 27. ... Bxc4 28. Nxb2 Bxe2 29. Rc1
Rb8 30. Nd1 Nd3 31. Bxd3 Bxd3 32. Nb3 Be4+ 33. Kh3 Kg7 34. g4 Rh8+ 35. Kg3

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3. On page 236 of the October 1963 Chess Life Robert James Fischer called this move “a rather common mistake”. 2. ... g6 3. Bg5 Bg7 4. Nbd2 0-0 5. e3 d6 6. Bc4 Nbd7 7. 0-0 Qe8 8. a4. For 8. c3 e5 see Rustemov – Areshchenko, Schachbundesliga, Wattenscheid 2011. 8. ... e5 9. a5 e4!? 10. Ne1 h6 11. Bh4. “I think Étienne has gone for the wrong plan. Much easier for White to play”, Grandmaster Nigel David Short said. 11. ... c6 12. Bb3. “Magnus is obviously taking great risks here, Bacrot has chances too. Critical position now after 12. Bb3”, Grandmaster Peter Heine Nielsen said. 12. ... Nh5!? 13. f3 exf3 14. Qxf3 Ndf6 15. Nd3 Bg4 16. Qf2 Be6 17. Bxe6 Qxe6 18. Qf3. Bad is 18. Rae1? on account of 18. ... g5 19. Bg3 Ng4 20. Qf3 Nxg3 21. Qxg3 Nxe3! with advantage to Black. 18. ... g5 19. Bf2 g4 20. Qe2 Rae8 21. a6. “The trend is very good for Magnus, but not overwhelming”, Nielsen said. 21. ... b6. “Both sides have very bad positions”, Short joked. 22. Rae1 Nd5. After 22. ... Ne4 Black would have a perfectly fine position. Has Étienne missed something? 23. e4 f5!?? This is a very committal move, which implies the sacrifice (the loss?) of a Pawn. 24. Qd1! “Has Bacrot been playing a bit too ambitiously? Carlsen seems to have an advantage now, Naiditsch pushing”,
Tarjei J. Svensen (@TarjeiJS) tweeted.
24. ... fxe4 25. Rxe4 Qf5 26. Qxg4 Qxg4 27. Rxg4 Re2!? 28. Rd1 Nhf6. “Will Bacrot handle the pressure with only 6 minutes (+increment) for 12 moves? Magnus advantage now” Tarjei J. Svensen (@TarjeiJS) tweeted. 29. Rg3 Nh5!? 30. Rf3 Rxf3 31. gxf3. White emerged a Pawn ahead with excellent winning chances. 31. ... Ne3. Black’s position was bad and perhaps already lost. The text move, however, makes matters even worse. 32. Bxe3 Rxe3 33. Nc4 Rxf3 34. Nb4 b5 35. Na5! c5 36. Nbc6! Rf7 37. Nb7 Nf4 38. dxc5 dxc5 39. Nxa7?? Magnus’ last move is a careless blunder, which is punished immediately. Of course 39. c3 was called for. 39. ... Bd4+! Nielsen: “It’s probably just a draw right now”. 40. Kh1. Also after 40. Rxd4 Ne2+ 41. Kg2 Nxd4 42. c3 Rf6 43. cxd4 Rxa6 44. Nxb5 cxd4 45. Nxd4 Rb6 46. Na5 Rxb2+ Black should draw. 40. ... Nh3! “It looks like he’s completely botched it up”, Short said. 41. Kg2. 41. Ra1 Rg7 is far too dangerous. 41. ... Nf4+ 42. Kg3 Ne2+ 43. Kg4 Rf4+ 44. Kh3 Rf3+ 45. Kg4 Rf4+ 46. Kh3 Rf3+ ½ : ½. “Playoff is nice, but it would be much better if I had decided the tournament alone”, Magnus said.

But despite that “Magnus will not lose today, and I can’t rule out that he will win”, Hammer said. 17. ... Ne6 18. Kg2 b6 19. f3 c5. “I am very optimistic on Magnus’ behalf now. This is why Berlin is such a genius opening”, Hammer said on TV 2. 20. Bg3

21. ... hxg4. A brilliant resource leading to a draw. 22. hxg5 gxf3+ 23. Kxf3 Nxg5+ 24. Kf4. 24. Kg4 would be met even more effectively by 24. ... Nh3, e.g. 25. e6 Bxe6 26. Nf4 g6 27. Nxe6 gxf5+ 28.
