Attacco Torre D03
ii Weekend FirenzeScacchi; Firenze, 28 ottobre 2007
Attacco Torre D03
1. d4 Cf6 2. Cf3 g6 3. c3 Ag7 4. Ag5 d5 5. Cbd2. Doriano ha scelto l’Attacco Torre (introdotto da Carlos, il messicano), prediletto in anni recenti anche dall’altro Torre (Eugenio, il filippino). 5. ... Af5!? Probabilmente un’improvvisazione. Più solite sono 5. ... 0-0 e 5. ... Cbd7. 6. h3! Un altro modus operandi è 6. Db3; per esempio: 6. ... b6 7. e3 0-0 8. a4 c6 9. h3 Cbd7 10. Aa6 Ce4 11. Cxe4 dxe4 12. Cd2 h6 13. Ah4 g5 14. Ag3 e5 15. Ab7 exd4 16. cxd4 c5 17. 0-0 cxd4 18. exd4 Axd4 19. Dd5 Ae6 20. Dxd4 Cc5 21. De5 Cxb7 22. Cxe4 Rh7 23. Tfd1 De7 24. Td7 1-0 Malaniuk – Goluch, Breslavia 2008. 6. ... 0-0 7. g4 Ae4 8. Ag2 c5 9. e3 Cbd7 10. 0-0 Te8 (10. ... Ad3!?) 11. Axf6 Cxf6 12. g5 Ch5 13. Cxe4 dxe4 14. Cd2 e5?? Uno strafalcione. Simone si è “dimenticato” di premettere 14. ... cxd4 15. cxd4 e5, sebbene dopo 16. d5! Dxg5 17. Cxe4 Dd8 18. d6 il Bianco serbasse una sensibile viniziativa. 15. dxc5 Dxg5 16. Cxe4 De7 17. Cd6. Il Bianco ha posizione dominante. 17. ... Ted8 18. Ad5(?). Sia 18. Db3 che 18. Da4 consolidavano l’imponente vantaggio bianco, ma forse Doriano non si è avveduto della prossima, indiretta risorsa... 18. ... Cf6! 19. b4. (19. Axf7+? Dxf7!) 19. ... e4 20. Tc1? Avremmo preferito – e non per dogmatismo – 20. Ac4 Td7 21. Db3 Tf8 22. Tad1 con manifesto vantaggio bianco. 20. ... Cxd5 21. Dxd5 Ae5 22. Tfd1
22. ... Dg5+? Un altro faux pas. Dopo 22. ... Td7! 23. Td4! Axd4 24. cxd4 Te8 25. b5 Dd8 26. a4 b6 la posizione è controversa, ma all’apparenza per il Nero sostenibile. 23. Rf1 Txd6. Non è un sacrificio di Qualità à la Petrossiàn, ma anche dopo 23. ... De7 24. Td4! Axd4 25. cxd4 la preponderanza pedonale del Bianco diverrà presto decisiva. 24. cxd6 Df5 25. Re1 Td8 26. d7 Rg7 27. Dxb7 Df3 28. Db5 Ag3. Spes, ultima dea. 29. De2 Dh1+ 30. Df1 Df3 31. fxg3 Dxe3+ 32. De2 Dxg3+ 33. Df2. Dopodiché è un massacro. 33. ... Dxh3 34. Dd4+ Rf8 35. Dh8+ Re7 36. De5+ Rf8 37. Dxe4 Dg3+ 38. Rf1 Dh3+ 39. Dg2 Df5+ 40. Rg1 h5 41. Tf1 Dxd7 42. Dxg6 De7 43. Txf7+! Prima il piacere... 43. ... Dxf7 44. Tf1 1 : 0.

黑暗騎士 (The Dark Knight)
The obituary is by Grandmaster Kevin Spraggett:
He died this past Thursday. Born in Valjevo (Serbia) on May 12, 1942, Velimirović became known as one of the most brilliant attackers of his (or any!) generation, rivalling the reputations of Alekhine, Tal and Kasparov. Bobby Fischer was immensely impressed with his understanding of the Sicilian Defence and the Benoni, and it is said that the two spent some time together analysing. His theoretical ideas and innovations helped advance our understanding of numerous popular opening variations.
But Velimirović was much more that just an attacker. He defeated many of the world’s top grandmasters, representing his country not less than 6 times at the Olympiad and won the national title not less than 3 times.

虚幻广场 (Piazza dell’Immaginario)
Comunicato Stampa
虚幻广场
Piazza dell’Immaginario Curator: Alba Braza Organization: Dryphoto Arte Contemporanea Piazza dell’Immaginario brings continuity to a working model that addresses questions of the relationship between art/photography and the territory, and the role played by art within the urban context. Art is used as a means to understand our present, also caring for everyday public space in the area close to the place of activity of Dryphoto arte contemporanea, with the goal of its improvement and cohabitation. Therefore Piazza dell’Immaginario is a project, but it also becomes the name of the zone where via Fabio Filzi and via Pistoiese are connected by a passageway of an apartment building. After the first stage, which began with the action The Responsibility of the Skies and the Heights by Pantani-Surace, and the presentation of the project to the public during a press conference, we have continued to position the QR codes to provide information on the program in Italian and Chinese, while discussing the idea of the piazza through a series of video interviews, all focusing on the same question: “in your view, what is a piazza?” The second phase now begins, with the insertion of benches and a bicycle rack, the refurbishing of old planters, the placement of a display board in the doorway of the Circolo Curiel for messages, and the cleaning and painting of the walls of the piazza. The change of image of the space is emphasized by the choice of adding the color red. This color presents an opportunity to change the function of the walls of the space, previously used for telephone numbers and messages, in order to bring two cultures closer together. Red is a color we associate with China, and it is also a strong presence in Italian culture. A connection between the Italian imaginary, where every newborn baby was given something red to wear, to ward off evil spirits, and that of China, where red is a color used in traditional festivals, in architecture and in wedding gowns, to represent wishes for good fortune and prosperity. 
The third phase will begin on 30 May, with the
opening of the exhibition Piazza dell’Immaginario with works by Gabriele Basilico,
Andrea Abati, Bleda y Rosa, Pantani-Surace, R.E.P. Revolutionary Experimental
Space, which will become part of the piazza. Piazza dell’Immaginario will be
accompanied by a publication, presented on the same day as the opening.
Piazza dell’Immaginario is an event supported by the Department of the Environment of the City of Prato, ASM Ambiente Servizi Mobilità and Circolo Curiel, in collaboration with Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Associna, Associazione Cinese di Li Shui, and with the participation of Comitato Macrolotto Zero, Italia Nostra Prato section. |

When Mikhail Nechemevich Tal fell ill in Curaçao (1962), Bobby Fischer was the only player who visited him in hospital, a gesture which touched Tal deeply, giving rise to the iconic photo of the two playing chess on Tal’s hospital bed.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? 生存还是毁灭，这是一个值得考虑的问题；默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭，或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难，通过斗争把它们扫清，这两种行为，哪一种更高贵？ |
