El d铆a de hoy comparto con la comunidad mi participaci贸n en el Campeonato Nacional de Ajedrez para personas con discapacidad Visual el cual fue realizado en la ciudad de Caracas en las instalaciones de la Biblioteca Rafael Vidal del instituto Nacional del Deporte (IND) del 14 al 18 de Junio del presente a帽o.
For an athlete, one of the most important moments in sports planning is to attend his or her fundamental competition, this being the end point of a specific preparation cycle. The training therefore, must be justified with the proper participation in a championship, tournament or event that puts into practice all the knowledge and skills acquired during the preparation sessions.
Today I share with the community my participation in the National Chess Championship for people with Visual Disabilities which was held in the city of Caracas in the facilities of the Rafael Vidal Library of the National Sports Institute (IND) from June 14 to 18 of this year.
Para los que siguen mi blog sabr谩n que pertenezco a la selecci贸n nacional desde el 2012 y que durante todo este tiempo he podido representar a Venezuela en distintas competencias a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, mantenerse en el equipo no ha sido una tarea f谩cil pues cada vez el nivel ajedrecista en general aumenta y nuevos jugadores anhelan entrar en el combinado. De aqu铆 la importancia de mantenerse entrenando y seguir aumentando la comprensi贸n del deporte ciencia.
Ahora bien, para entrar en la selecci贸n nacional se deben cumplir una serie de requisitos t茅cnicos. En resumen, un atleta debe participar en el campeonato nacional, ubicarse entre los mejores jugadores del evento (esto queda a criterio de la direcci贸n t茅cnica), posteriormente el jugador es convocado a uno o m谩s chequeos en el cual se enfrentar谩 al resto de ajedrecistas clasificados, finalmente luego de toda esta serie de torneos y de cumplir con las marcas establecidas en el ciclo competitivo se obtiene el cupo al equipo nacional.
For those who follow my blog will know that I belong to the national team since 2012 and that during all this time I have been able to represent Venezuela in various competitions worldwide. However, staying in the team has not been an easy task because every time the chess level in general increases and new players yearn to enter the team. Hence the importance of keeping training and continue to increase the understanding of the sport science.
However, in order to enter the national team, a series of technical requirements must be met. In summary, an athlete must participate in the national championship, place among the best players of the event (this is at the discretion of the technical direction), then the player is summoned to one or more checks in which he will face the rest of classified chess players, finally after all this series of tournaments and meet the marks set in the competitive cycle is obtained the quota to the national team.
Luego de un arduo trabajo por parte de la Federaci贸n Polideportiva Ciegos de Venezuela (FEPOCIVE) quienes son responsables de la organizaci贸n del evento, se logra realizar el muy esperado Campeonato Nacional tras una pausa de 6 a帽os. Desde luego, muchos ajedrecistas estaban ansiosos de participar y dar el m谩ximo esfuerzo para de esta manera conseguir los m谩ximos honores y apuntarse en la selecci贸n de Venezuela.
That said, we can then affirm that the National Championship is the fundamental event that enables the first phase of selection, hence its great importance. In theory this event should be held annually, however, with all the incidents resulting from the pandemic and other logistical inconveniences, this event has not been held since 2016, although it should be noted that the chess activity has not stopped in its entirety as various online and regional events have been taking place with reasonable frequency.
After hard work on the part of the Federaci贸n Polideportiva Ciegos de Venezuela (FEPOCIVE) who are responsible for the organization of the event, the long-awaited National Championship is held after a pause of 6 years. Of course, many chess players were anxious to participate and give their maximum effort to achieve the highest honors and join the Venezuelan national team.
En publicaciones anteriores les he hablado de como es el ajedrez para personas con discapacidad visual, si te causa curiosidad este interesante tema, ac谩 te dejo un articulo en el cual explico como un invidente puede hacer las jugadas sobre el tablero: El ajedrez para personas con discpacidad visual
Continuando con el campeonato, luego de que son establecidas las bases t茅cnicas y finalmente los atletas se re煤nen en la arena de juego, la cuenta regresiva da inicio para saber quien se alzar谩 con la gloria. Recordemos que el ajedrez es un deporte altamente competitivo y sobre el tablero cada estratega intenta doblegar a su adversario. Esto hay que tenerlo claro pues en el gremio del ajedrez todos somos una familia como dicta el lema de la Federaci贸n Internacional "Gens Una Sumus" pero cuando la partida da inicio debe ganar el mejor.
In previous publications I have talked about chess for the visually impaired, if you are curious about this interesting topic, here is an article in which I explain how a blind person can make the moves on the board: Chess for the visually impaired.
Continuing with the championship, after the technical bases are established and finally the athletes gather in the playing arena, the countdown begins to find out who will win the glory. Let's remember that chess is a highly competitive sport and on the board each strategist tries to defeat his opponent. This must be clear because in the chess guild we are all one family as the motto of the International Federation "Gens Una Sumus" dictates, but when the game starts, the best must win.
Todos somos muy buenos amigos pero el ajedrez al ser una contienda debe existir un ganador promoviendo siempre claro est谩 el "fairplay". Esto es lo que involucra el alto rendimiento, muchos empiezan pero pocos son los que prevalecen.
En esta oportunidad mi participaci贸n fue bastante buena. Mi posici贸n inicial era la del n煤mero 3 seg煤n mi rating y al finalizar el torneo consegu铆 el segundo lugar por lo que escal茅 un puesto en la clasificaci贸n general pero m谩s importante a煤n esto me permite seguir estando en la selecci贸n y poder ser convocado para los pr贸ximos eventos internacionales.
We are all very good friends but since chess is a contest there must be a winner, always promoting fair play. This is what is involved in high performance, many start but few are those who prevail.
In this opportunity my participation was quite good. My initial position was number 3 according to my rating and at the end of the tournament I got the second place so I climbed a place in the overall standings but more importantly this allows me to remain in the selection and to be called for the next international events.
En este torneo 6 rondas fueron disputadas de las cuales gan茅 3, empat茅 2 y perd铆 una totalizando 4 unidades. Me toc贸 enfrentar a varios de mis colegas con los cuales he compartido equipo en los mundiales pero como mencion茅 anteriormente este es un campeonato individual y sobre el tablero se debe jugar la partida.
Como en toda competencia, siempre nos queda un aprendizaje y m谩s experiencia es acumulada de cara a lo que es la carrera ajedrecista. Una parte fundamental para el progreso es la del an谩lisis de cada partida jugada lo cual nos ayudar谩 a identificar nuestros puntos d茅biles, los errores cometidos y distintos aspectos del juego que con una adecuada revisi贸n pueden ser mejorados. En el v铆deo analiz贸 tres de las partidas que jugu茅 en Caracas destacando momentos claves y recreando parte de mi racionamiento en la toma de decisiones.
In this tournament 6 rounds were played of which I won 3, drew 2 and lost one, totaling 4 units. I had to face several of my colleagues with whom I have shared a team in the world championships, but as I mentioned before, this is an individual championship and the game must be played on the board.
As in any competition, there is always a learning experience and more experience is accumulated for the chess career. A fundamental part for progress is the analysis of each game played, which will help us to identify our weak points, the mistakes made and different aspects of the game that with a proper review can be improved. In the video I analyzed three of the games I played in Caracas highlighting key moments and recreating part of my rationing in decision making.
