Este domingo nos toc贸 encarar nuevamente a los fuertes ajedrecistas de Hive y compartimos con ustedes la rese帽a deportiva del momento, del pu帽o y letra de los redactores de Chess Brothers: @eniolw y
@vjap55.
Creemos que las partidas se empiezan a poner m谩s fuertes y nos parece que debemos mejorar ciertos aspectos en nuestro juego que nos est谩n haciendo quedar un tanto inferior en momentos cr铆ticos del match. As铆 pues, @vjap55 obtuvo un 8vo lugar que mantiene sus posibilidades vivas de cara a los resultados finales, por lo que las cosas no estuvieron tan malas para 茅l tampoco en esta tercera ronda.
Sin embargo, tambi茅n hay aspectos que son meramente cuesti贸n de suerte. Esto le pas贸 a @eniolw, quien estaba desempe帽谩ndose normalmente en el torneo, pero a mitad del camino experiment贸 problemas t茅cnicos que le imposibilitaron continuar, por lo que tuvo que conformarse con los puntos que acumul贸 hasta ese momento y que le permitieron ocupar el 10mo lugar al final.
La sorpresa del evento fue @lucianosky (mejor conocido como Pavarotty en Lichess), pues en esta oportunidad logr贸 el gran salto y se ubic贸 en la c煤pisde del podio, imponiendo su maestr铆a sobre el tablero. M谩s abajo mostraremos una demostraci贸n de su juego. 隆Felicidades por tremendo logro!
Supimos que @lucianosky est谩 en estos mismos momentos participando en los Juegos Nacionales de Venezuela, representando a su estado. Esperemos que el fogueo que tuvo gracias a los torneos de #hivechess le ayuden mucho en esa competencia fundamental.
Volviendo al torneo, destacamos tambi茅n la actuaci贸n de @samostically y
@tony1294 y quienes definitivamente conquistaron sus posiciones hombro a hombro con el campe贸n, pues est谩n separados por tan solo un punto.
Por cierto, llama la atenci贸n que con esta se completan dos v谩lidas consecutivas en las que @tungphong no logra rozar los primeros puestos. Nos gusta pensar que esto confirma la incre铆ble competitividad presente en el campeonato, donde todos quieren puntuar y donde los favoritos no pueden hacerse con las suyas siempre.
El ritmo de juego empleado en esta v谩lida fue Blitz 3+0, un control bastante ajustado que incrementa la posibilidad de cometer errores, pues 隆no hay incremento! Al ser un margen de tiempo s煤per reducido, las posiciones suelen salirse de control en los apuros. Para bien o para mal es la opci贸n preferida por la comunidad en la encuesta semanal.
Ahora bien, luego de haberse jugado esta v谩lida la tabla de posiciones de la temporada queda de la siguiente manera:

El domingo continuaremos con la acci贸n ajedrecista y con ello estaremos alcanzando el ecuador del evento. A煤n la tabla est谩 en proceso de cambio, pues la lucha sobre el tablero es intensa. As铆 que dejaremos que evolucione un poco m谩s para analizarla en detalle en otro reportaje.
El subcampe贸n @samostically, quien maneja las piezas blancas aqu铆 y posee un estilo bastante osado, quizo invadir los terrenos del rey enemigo a base de sacrificios, pero
@lucianosky es un maestro de la t谩ctica y todos los intentos de las blancas simplemente se vieron difuminados por la incre铆ble habilidad de c谩lculo y solidez que Luciano emplea en sus juegos. Veamos un ejemplo:
Las blancas acaban de lanzarse con 16. Axg6!?, un sacrificio que no es malo pero que tampoco resulta ser lo m谩s efectivo en esta posici贸n, pues se podr铆a haber optado por otras continuaciones que tal vez incrementarian la ligera ventaja. No obstante, viendo el reducido tiempo de reflexi贸n, estas entregas materiales tienen un porcentaje aceptable de 茅xito. En cualquier caso la posici贸n resultante es complicada.
Las negras no lo piensan dos veces y aceptan el desaf铆o, y tras las secuencias forzadas 16... hxg6 17. Dxg6 Ag7 18. Ah6 Dd7 las cosas se ponen poco claras. Las blancas insisten con 19. Cd5 y tras 19... Ce5 parece que las blancas tenian la jugada fuerte 20. Dg5 un detalle muy s煤til, ya que se amenza Ce7+ obstruyendo la defensa sobre el punto g7 y con eso las blancas dar铆an mate.
Se tendr铆a que jugar la 煤nica 20... Rh7 donde las blancas obtienen ventaja Con Axg7 seguido de Cf6+. Esta posible variante era muy dif铆cil de ver en la partida por toda la presi贸n existente en un match. @Samostically jug贸 la humana 20. Dg3 y con esto las aguas siguen turbulentas, pero las negras tienen m谩s chances. Sigui贸 20... Cf5 21. Db3 para seguir con la presi贸n, pero las negras encuentran una ruta ventajosa.
Tras 21... Rh8 22. Axg7+ Dxg7 y las negras conservan la pieza de m谩s, al mismo tiempo que el ataque de las blancas est谩 neutralizado y el segundo jugador logr贸 concretar el punto sin problemas.
Magistral defensa empleada por el ganador del evento. Nos est谩 pareciendo s煤per interesante ver que en esos momentos cr铆ticos 茅l est谩 aplicando la tenacidad propia de su defensa predilecta que es la Petrov. Esto por supuesto realza la conexi贸n entre la preparaci贸n te贸rica y el estilo de juego.

This Sunday we faced again the strong chess players of Hive and we share with you the sports review of the moment, in the handwriting of the editors of Chess Brothers: @eniolw and
@vjap55.
We believe that the games are starting to get stronger and it seems to us that we must improve certain aspects in our game that are making us be somewhat inferior in critical moments of the match. So, @vjap55 got an 8th place that keeps his chances alive for the final results, so things were not so bad for him in this third round either.
However, there are also aspects that are purely a matter of luck. This happened to @eniolw, who was performing normally in the tournament, but halfway through he experienced technical problems that made it impossible for him to continue, so he had to settle for the points he had accumulated up to that point and which allowed him to occupy 10th place in the end.
The surprise of the event was @lucianosky (better known as Pavarotty in Lichess), because this time he achieved the great leap and stood at the top of the podium, imposing his mastery over the board. Below we will show a demonstration of his game, congratulations for his tremendous achievement!
We learned that @lucianosky is at this very moment participating in the National Games of Venezuela, representing his state. Let's hope that the exposure he had thanks to the #hivechess tournaments will help him a lot in that fundamental competition.
Returning to the tournament, we also highlight the performance of @samostically and
@tony1294 and who definitely conquered their positions shoulder to shoulder with the champion, as they are separated by only one point.
By the way, it is noteworthy that with this one we have completed two consecutive races in which @tungphong has not managed to touch the top positions. We like to think that this confirms the incredible competitiveness present in the championship, where everyone wants to score and where the favorites can not always get away with it.
The time control used in this round was Blitz 3+0, a very tight control that increases the possibility of making mistakes, because there is no increment! Being a super tight time margin, positions tend to get out of control in the rushes. For better or worse it is the preferred option by the community in the weekly poll.
Now, after having played this round, the season's leaderboard is as follows:

On Sunday we will continue with the chess action and with it we will be reaching the halfway point of the event. The table is still in the process of changing, as the fight on the board is intense. So we will let it evolve a little more to analyze it in detail in another report.
The runner-up @samostically, who handles the white pieces here and has a rather daring style, wanted to invade the enemy king's grounds with sacrifices, but
@lucianosky is a master of tactics and all of White's attempts were simply blurred by the incredible ability of calculation and solidity that Luciano employs in his games. Let's see an example:
White has just launched with 16. Bxg6!?, a sacrifice that is not bad but which is not the most effective in this position, since one could have opted for other continuations that would perhaps increase the slight advantage. However, considering the reduced amount of time for reflection, these material sacrifices have an acceptable percentage of success. In any case, the resulting position is complicated.
Black doesn't think twice and accepts the challenge, and after the forced sequences 16...hxg6 17.Qxg6 Bg7 18.Bh6 Qd7 things get unclear. White insists with 19. Nd5 and after 19... Ne5 it seems that White had the strong move 20. Qg5 a very subtle detail, since Ne7+ is threatened by obstructing the defense on the g7 point and with that White would mate.
The unique move 20...Kh7 would have to be made where White gains advantage with Bxg7 followed by Nf6+. This possible variation was very difficult to see in the game due to all the pressure in a match. @Samostically played the human move 20. Qg3 and with this the waters are still rough, but Black has more chances. It went on 20...Nf5 21.Qb3 to keep up the pressure, but Black finds an advantageous route.
After 21...Kh8 22.Bxg7+ Qxg7 and Black keeps the extra piece, at the same time White's attack is neutralized and the second player managed to make the point without problems.
Masterful defense used by the winner of the event. We are finding it super interesting to see that in those critical moments he is applying the tenacity of his favorite defense which is the Petrov. This of course enhances the connection between theoretical preparation and playing style.
