  • A Grunfeld - Vedelem Botvinnik
    book

    Monográfiánkat az egyik legaktuálisabb megnyitásnak, a Grünfeld-védelemnek szenteltük. Ezt a védelmet Grünfeld osztrák nagymester vezette be a versenygyakorlatba 1922-ben, vagyis egy évvel az Aljechin-védelem megjelenése után; a két védelem eszmei megalapozásában sok a közös vonás. A Grünfeld-védelemben sötét szintén kihívja a világos gyalog előnyomulását, amely tempóval támadja meg a sötét huszárt, időlegesen átengedi a centrumot, majd ellentámadást indít ellene, tisztjeivel nyomást gyakorol a centrumra, és azt gyalogjaival is igyekszik felrobbantani. A Grünfeld-védelem megjelenése nagy vitákat váltott ki, többen a sakktörvények megsértését látták benne, és ezért a szigorú teoretikusok azt követelték, hogy nyomban döntsék meg a védelmet. A Grünfeld-védelmet azóta sokszor elvetették, majd megjavították, megdöntötték és feltámasztották, és ennek megfelelően elítélték vagy dicsérték.

  • Grunfeld Defense Botvinnik
    book

    Данная монография посвящена одному из наиболее актуальных дебютов - защите Грюнфельда. Эта защита введена в турнирную практику австрийским гроссмейстером Э. Грюнфельдом в 1922 году, то есть спустя год после появления защиты Алехина; по своим идеям обе защиты имеют много общего. Этот дебют в наши дни прочно вошел в репертуар сильнейших шахматистов мира. Настоящая работа ставит своей целью обобщить практический материал самого последнего времени и дать отдельным продолжениям новую оценку. В книгу включены также анализы М. Ботвинника, подготовленные им для соревнований, но так и не использованные в практической борьбе, - они публикуются впервые.  В соответствии с историческим развитием защиты Грюнфельда в данной монографии прежде всего выделены пять основных систем, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на главы и самостоятельные варианты. В конце книги приводятся пояснительные партии. В работе широко использованы последние изыскания ведущих советских и зарубежных шахматистов, которые обогатили защиту Грюнфельда новыми стратегическими идеями. В конце книги читатель найдет пояснительные партии, подробно прокомментированные экс-чемпионом мира М. Ботвинником. Книга рассчитана на шахматистов высокой квалификации.
