Para que yo me llame Xelais Dorigo

Para que yo me llame Xelais Dorigo

Para que yo me llame Xelais Dorigo, 
para que mi ser pese sobre el suelo, 
fue necesario un ancho espacio 
y un largo tiempo: 
hombres de todo el mar y toda tierra, 
fértiles vientres de mujer, y cuerpos 
y más cuerpos, fundiéndose incesantes 
en otro cuerpo nuevo. 
Solsticios y equinoccios alumbraron 
con su cambiante luz, su vario cielo, 
el viaje milenario de mi carne 
trepando por los siglos y los huesos. 
De su pasaje lento y doloroso 
de su huida hasta el fin, sobreviviendo 
naufragios, aferrándose 
al último suspiro de los muertos, 
yo no soy más que el resultado, el fruto, 
lo que queda, podrido, entre los restos; 
esto que veis aquí, 
tan sólo esto: 
un escombro tenaz, que se resiste 
a su ruina, que lucha contra el viento, 
que avanza por caminos que no llevan 
a ningún sitio. El éxito 
de todos los fracasos. La enloquecida 
fuerza del desaliento...

Un poema de Ángel Gonzáles

Alrededor no hay nada


El moño, las pestañas, las pupilas,
el peroné, la tibia, las narices,
la frente, los tobillos, las axilas,
el menisco, la aorta, las varices.

La garganta, los párpados, las cejas,
las plantas de los pies, la comisura,
los cabellos, el coxis, las orejas,
los nervios, la matriz, la dentadura.

Las encías, las nalgas, los tendones,
la rabadilla, el vientre, las costillas,
los húmeros, el pubis, los talones.

La clavícula, el cráneo, la papada,
el clítoris, el alma, las cosquillas,
esa es mi patria, alrededor no hay nada

Joaquín Sabina

Krejcik Gambit

Mirarte


Me gusta cómo me mirás
me asusta cómo te miro
quizá te canses de mirarme
quizá me canse de mirarte
y hagas algo que voy a lamentar
y haga algo que voy a lamentar
como escaparte
como mirarte
aunque ya no me mires más.

Cochrane´s Gambit





The Cochrane Gambit against the normally staid Petroff's Defence with 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nxe5 d6 4 Nxf7!? - an idea that stunned the chess world not only when it was first played in 1848, but also when Veselin Topalov resurrected it again in 1999 against Vladimir Kramnik at Linares. A swashbuckler by nature, 19th-century Scottish master John Cochrane (1798 - 1878) - who is also associated with the confusing naming history of the Scotch Game - was the epitome of the early romantic era of chess, and his legacy lives on through the centuries with his daring tactical idea that survives unrefuted to this day. The Cochrane Gambit involves the sacrifice of a knight as early as move four to lure out the opponent's king in a complex board full of pieces, whilst pushing forward in the center with a mobile armada of pawns.

Hoy no voy a trabajar

No voy a levantarme apurado, ni a ducharme apurado, ni desayunar apurado, ni salir apurado. Ni olvidarme de algo. Por apurado. 
Ni a bajar las escaleras puteando. a mi vecina.
Hoy no voy a esperar el autobús. Esperanzado. Porque no va a tardar en llegar. Desesperado. Porque la espera recién empieza. 


Hoy no voy a llegar tarde otra vez a la oficina. 
Ni a saludar por saludar. Ni a drogarme con el café más feo del mundo. Para durar. 
Ni a sentarme frente al escritorio. Para esperar. Esperanzado. 
Porque el final del día no va a tardar en llegar. Desesperado. 
Porque el final recién empieza. 


Hoy voy a levantarme muy tarde. Y a ducharme muy despacio. Y a desayunar más despacio. Y voy a salir a la calle y al mundo no le va a importar. Y a mí tampoco. 
Porque voy a estar espaciado, descansado y desapurado. Y esperanzado.
Porque el amor no va a tardar en llegar. Y desesperado. 
Porque la esperanza recién empieza.

Evans Gambit




http://www.mediafire.com/?d7acv4ubql1ly

One of the soundest of the romantic gambits from the 18th century that is still used at top level in the game today - The Evans Gambit with 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 b4!? Captain William Davies Evans was the captain of a sailing packet carrying mail between Milford Haven and Waterford in Great Briton in the 1820s. During one of these crossings the gallant captain suddenly discovered a promising new fourth move for White And so, the Evans Gambit was born coming at the height of the romantic period in the game, the swashbuckling gambit soon took the imagination of the chess world and was adopted by the likes of McDonnell, Labourdonnais, Anderssen, Moprhy, Chigorin and Steinitz. However, despite never being refuted, the gambit went out of fashion at the turn of the 20th Century only to come back in dramatic style in 1995, when Garry Kasparov rehabilitated this venerable old gambit.

Budapest Gambit





It has surprise value, its not hard to learn, and it leads to sharp and dynamic play from the very start of the game. It was first played by Hungarian great Geza Maroczy at Budapest, 1896, but it was his fellow countrymen Abonyi, Barasz and Breyer who developed and popularized the opening in the early part of the 20th-century. While it is rarely seen at top level, it is not only solid and reliable, but you can also catch unaware opponents out in one of the myriad of opening traps to pick up a free win!

Belgrade Gambit





The Belgrade Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 d4 exd4 5 Nd5!?) had its heyday in the 1970s, long before the Database deluge. Nowadays, every 'Russian Schoolboy' knows that 5...Be7 is a very effective antidote to this gambit. The main virtue though of obscure gambits, lies in the element of surprise when you play them.  And despite not being in vogue, former world champion Anatoly Karpov, writing in his 1988 book The Open Game in Action, heartedly recommends the Belgrade gambit: "...this gambit leads to quite exciting and lively play.  I think those who favor stormy complications should include the [Belgrade] gambit in their repertoire." 

Blackmar-Diemer





"Play the Blackmar-Diemer gambit and mate will come by itself!" so wrote Emil Diemer (1908-1990), as he refashioned an opening once played by Armad Blackmar (1826-1888), which came to bear both their names. Diemer was an average player who shot to fame in the fifties and sixties through the popularity of his opening with the masses, especially in Germany and the Netherlands. The BDG with 1. d4 d5 2. e4!? has a large following and it does indeed go for the jugular early, as white plays for mate from move two.

Benko Gambit





The Benko Gambit (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 b5). Black's counterplay is very durable compared to many other gambits, in that the queenside pressure can last well into the endgame. The idea to sacrifice a pawn with ...b5 and ...a6 was an old favorite of Czech master Karel Opocensky in the mid-1930s. Then, the original name of the opening was the Volga Gambit - named after the Volga River - after an article about 3...b5!? by B. Argunow that appeared in the magazine Schachmaty in USSR of 1946. But it soon shot to fame and near universal club-level adoption at the end of the 1960s after its eponym, Pal Benko, honed and developed the gambit into a potent attacking weapon for black on the back of many big U.S. Swiss victories during this period

Alekhine 4 pawns Attack



The Alekhine 4-Pawns Attack if Black eschews the big main line with 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4 d6 5. f4 dxe5 6. fxe5 Nc6 7. Be3 Bf5 8. Nc3 e6 9. Nf3 Be7 10. d5 Nb4?! His answer? Look no further than a particularly aggressive gambit line with 11. Rc1 f6 12. a3 Na6 13. g4!? - originally a recommendation of the leading Soviet master of his day Alexander Zaitsev (1935-71), and lately given the big thumbs up by another top Russian in Alexander Morozevich!
