<center><h2>LIGA DE AJEDREZ CHESS BROTHERS - Temporada 2 "Gens una sumus": Reportaje del torneo 4 y nueva convocatoria 💪♟</h2>
<h5>(Versión en español | Spanish Version)</h5>
</center>

<div class="text-justify">

Con una participación record, la 4ta ronda de la LACB fue llevada a cabo el pasado domingo como de costumbre. Esta vez <b>39 ajedrecistas</b> se dieron cita en lo que ha sido una válida altamente competitiva, con lo cual este torneo sobrepasó las expectativas. El escalafón final estuvo bastante reñido y cada partida fue disputada con una valía extraordinaria. Nos encontramos en el ecuador de la liga y son incontables las impresiones que tenemos de este magno evento desarrollado en Lichess y respaldado por la comunidad de Hive en todo su esplendor.

Si aún no te has enterado de esta liga, echa un vistazo al siguiente <A HREF="https://hive.blog/hive-110011/@chessbrotherspro/bpismxpt" TARGET="_new">post</A>. En la siguiente imagen se muestra el podio y standing final de la 4ta válida:

<center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmWg6dqBsCCfWNZDvLjkXPoiGDDqDAkUiMTx1iyzWGPjzA/podium.png"></center>

Los números hablan por sí solos. El jugador @eniolw se apoderó del puesto número 1 en esta ronda, acumulando 6 puntos, aunque no tuvo las cosas tan fáciles ya que tuvo un tropiezo.

Su marcador lo igualó @tungphong (blackswan21 en Lichess), quien tomó el subcampeonato de la ocasión de manera invicta. Con este liderato mutuo, se siente la rivalidad y las ansias de quedarse con el triunfo.

Muy de cerca en la 3ra posición llegó @samostically, quien con ello asegura su presencia entre los mejores jugadores. Esta ronda sin duda ha sido una de las más emocionantes y ningún jugador quiere ceder. Tal es así que los puestos 3 al 5, ocupados @samostically, @lucianosky y @vjap55, estuvieron empatados con 5 puntos.

Como vemos, a mitad de la temporada la situación al tope de la tabla se mantiene tensa, con @eniolw y @tungphong intercambiandose el primer lugar mutuamente durante las últimas rondas, separados por apenas una mera unidad.

Los acechan relativamente cerca @samostically y @tony1294 quienes a su vez mantienen su propia rivalidad por el 3er lugar, siendo @tony1294 el desplazado al 4ta posición esta vez.

@lucianosky y @rosmarly, por su parte, de hicieron paso levemente, escalando posiciones que desplazan a @fjcr y Jonbellionfan.

Durante esta ronda se unieron <b>14 nuevos jugadores</b>: Anwielra, Dingsparov, Hruthvik14, KeremC2007, MiodragS, Navid1209, RodrigoMeloBr, SISIR19, XM9000, chessmartin, clamu66, mosalahfromegypt, pjv2020 y punnichero.

Ahora echemos un vistazo a las partidas, hablemos de...

<h2>¡Las partidas más tenaces!</h2>

Desde nuestra perspectiva, esta válida fue la más reñida hasta los momentos. Las partidas promueven este espíritu combativo. @lucianosky y @tungphong se han convertido en grandes insignias de este torneo con un choque entre juventud y experiencia. Su partida nos dejó bastante satisfechos, pues a pesar de que el jugador de Vietnam, @tungphong, contaba con material extra en el final, la sólida defensa de Luciano soportó la dura embestida y logró salvar el medio punto. Aconsejamos que revisen <a href="https://lichess.org/iTHM8D3j">esta partida</a>, pues les brindará un gran aprendizaje. Veamos un momento clave de ella:

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmaEtnYc4e6fxhgjjSLtrJyTr5FwFpkS5PZS2Ux9zFZA3j/1.png
'><h4><a href="https://lichess.org/iTHM8D3j#183">@pavarotty vs @blackswan21</a></h4></center>

Es esta posición "igualada" que se alcanzó tras más de 90 jugadas de ardua contienda, las negras pueden seguir forzando y tratar de conseguir algo. Pero el apuro de tiempo no le permitirá jugar con la debida precisión. En este punto el negro jugó <b>92... Cd2+ 93. Re2 Cc4</b> y quizá en ese momento el jugador de piezas blancas se relajó y perdió la objetividad. La amenaza de las negras es jugar Ce3 ganando un segundo peón y con ello la partida.

De tal manera que tras <b>94. Ab8??</b> las blancas podrían haber colapsado, pero afortunadamente para ellas el negro no se percató. Como decimos, la jugada Ce3 es ganadora (ver diagrama).

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmX52TgJtpEm6cM7jcRgT69syXm7Qhmc5vq8WRerY3b9XJ/imagen.png'><h4>Posición tras la acertada 94... Ce3, una oportunidad de oro desperdiciada y que le podría haber dado el primer lugar del evento a @tungphong</h4></center>

Pero las negras pasaron por alto este detalle. Tras <b>94... f3?+</b> se iguala por completo todo y los chances de llevarse el punto se esfuman. Siguió <b>95. gxf3+ Rh3</b> y tras <b>96. Axg3</b> no hay nada que hacer más que firmar la paz.

Veamos otro interesante caso:

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmeK46HZokgQSu4DeZMmL84KJ7nxf8qhx2WT8gA7LfUx8H/2.png
'><h4><a href="https://lichess.org/KUg55CX9#121">@FCastro17 vs @Dingsparov</a></h4></center>

Las blancas han desaprovechado su gran ventaja material. Ahora el peligroso peón pasado de las negras cobra muchísima vida. Las negras encuentran <b>61... Ab4!</b> que supone un gran esfuerzo defensivo. Siguió <b>65. Tc8+ Rb5 66. Tb8+ Rxa5</b> y ahora ¡cuidado! Las negras pudieran tener algunos chances si el blanco no encuentra las jugadas precisas. Siguió <b>64. Tb8 b2 65. Tb1 Ad2!</b> amenazando con obstruir la acción de la torre blanca, <b>66. Tb1 Ac1 67. Rd5 Rb4!</b> y las negras tienen más que suficiente para asegurar las tablas. Tras <b>68. h4 Rc3 69. h5 Rc2</b> y unas pocas jugadas forzadas más llegan a tablas por insuficiencia de material.

<center><h2>CHESS BROTHERS LEAGUE - Season 2 "Gens una sumus": Tournament 4 Report and New Announcement 💪♟</h2>
<h5>(English Version | Versión en inglés)</h5>
</center>

<div class="text-justify">

With a record participation, the 4th round of the Chess Brothers League was held last Sunday as usual. This time <b>39 chess players</b> gathered in what has been a highly competitive round, so this tournament exceeded expectations. The final ranking was very close and each game was played with an extraordinary value. We are at the halfway point of the league and there are countless impressions we have of this great event developed in Lichess and supported by the Hive community in all its splendor.

If you haven't heard about this league yet, take a look at the following <A HREF="https://hive.blog/hive-110011/@chessbrotherspro/bpismxpt" TARGET="_new">post</A>. The following image shows the podium and final standings of the round 4:

<center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmWg6dqBsCCfWNZDvLjkXPoiGDDqDAkUiMTx1iyzWGPjzA/podium.png"></center>

The numbers speak for themselves. The player @eniolw took over the number 1 spot in this round, accumulating 6 points, although he didn't have things so easy as he had a stumble.

His score was matched by @tungphong (blackswan21 on Lichess), who took the runner-up spot for the occasion undefeated. With this mutual leadership, the rivalry and the eagerness to win can be felt.

Close behind in 3rd position came @samostically, who secured his presence among the best players. This round has undoubtedly been one of the most exciting and no player wants to give up. So much so that the positions 3 to 5, occupied by @samostically, @lucianosky and @vjap55, were tied with 5 points.

</table>

As we can see, at the halfway point of the season the situation at the top of the table remains tense, with @eniolw and @tungphong swapping first place with each other over the last few rounds, separated by just a mere unit.

Lurking relatively close behind are @samostically and @tony1294 who in turn have their own rivalry for 3rd place, with @tony1294 being bumped to 4th this time.

@lucianosky and @rosmarly, on the other hand, made slight steps, climbing positions that displace @fjcr and Jonbellionfan.

During this round, <b>14 new players</b> joined: Anwielra, Dingsparov, Hruthvik14, KeremC2007, MiodragS, Navid1209, RodrigoMeloBr, SISIR19, XM9000, chessmartin, clamu66, mosalahfromegypt, pjv2020 and punnichero.

We also note that having reached the halfway point of the season, <b>12 players</b> have had a chance to be <b>100% consistent</b> (@agreste, @eniolw, @fjcr, @lighteye, @lucianosky, @pereu4ivatel, @rodrook, @rosmarly, @samostically, @stayoutoftherz, @tony1294 and @tungphong), participating in all 4 rounds so far, all Hive users.

In the video included in this post, these results are further analyzed. Now let's take a look at the games, let's talk about...

<h2>The most tenacious games!</h2>

From our perspective, this round was the most hard-fought so far. The games promote this fighting spirit. @lucianosky and @tungphong have become great badges of this tournament with a clash between youth and experience. Their game left us quite satisfied, because despite the fact that the Vietnam player, @tungphong, had extra material in the endgame, Luciano's solid defense withstood the hard onslaught and managed to save the half point. We advise you to check <a href="https://lichess.org/iTHM8D3j">this game</a>, as it will provide you with a great learning experience. Let's see a key moment of it:

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmaEtnYc4e6fxhgjjSLtrJyTr5FwFpkS5PZS2Ux9zFZA3j/1.png
'><h4><a href="https://lichess.org/iTHM8D3j#183">@pavarotty vs @blackswan21</a></h4></center>

In this "equalized" position, which was reached after more than 90 moves of hard fighting, Black can continue to force and try to get something. But the time pressure will not allow him to play with due precision. At this point Black played <b>92.... Nd2+ 93. Ke2 Nc4</b> and perhaps at that point the white piece player relaxed and lost objectivity. Black's threat is to play Ne3 gaining a second pawn and with it the game.

So that after <b>94. Bb8??</b> White could have collapsed, but fortunately for them Black did not notice. As we said, the move Ne3 is winning (see diagram).

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmX52TgJtpEm6cM7jcRgT69syXm7Qhmc5vq8WRerY3b9XJ/imagen.png'><h4>Position after the successful 94... Ce3, a golden opportunity wasted and that could have given @tungphong the first place of the event.</h4></center>

But Black overlooked this detail. After <b>94... f3?+</b> everything was completely equalized and the chances of taking the point vanished. It continued with <b>95. gxf3+ Kh3</b> and after <b>96. Bxg3</b> there is nothing to do but sign the peace.

Let's look at another interesting case:

<center><img src='https://images.hive.blog/DQmeK46HZokgQSu4DeZMmL84KJ7nxf8qhx2WT8gA7LfUx8H/2.png
'><h4><a href="https://lichess.org/KUg55CX9#121">@FCastro17 vs @Dingsparov</a></h4></center>

White has squandered his great material advantage. Now Black's dangerous passed pawn comes to life. Black finds <b>61... Bb4!</b> which is a great defensive effort. It was followed by <b>65. Rc8+ Kb5 66. Rb8+ Kxa5</b> and now watch out! Black might have some winning chances if White doesn't find the precise moves. The game continued <b>64. Rb8 b2 65. Rb1 Bd2!</b> threatening to obstruct the action of the white rook, <b>66. Rb1 Bc1 67. Kd5 Kb4!</b> and Black has more than enough to secure a draw. After <b>68. h4 Kc3 69. h5 Kc2</b> and a few more forced moves, they reach a draw due to insufficient material.
