Una mujer desnuda...





Una mujer desnuda y en lo oscuro 
tiene una claridad que nos alumbra 
de modo que si ocurre un desconsuelo 
un apagón o una noche sin luna 
es conveniente y hasta imprescindible 
tener a mano una mujer desnuda. 

Una mujer desnuda y en lo oscuro 
genera un resplandor que da confianza 
entonces dominguea el almanaque 
vibran en su rincón las telarañas 
y los ojos felices y felinos 
miran y de mirar nunca se cansan. 

Una mujer desnuda y en lo oscuro 
es una vocación para las manos 
para los labios es casi un destino 
y para el corazón un despilfarro 
una mujer desnuda es un enigma 
y siempre es una fiesta descifrarlo. 

Una mujer desnuda y en lo oscuro 
genera una luz propia y nos enciende 
el cielo raso se convierte en cielo 
y es una gloria no ser inocente 
una mujer querida o vislumbrada 
desbarata por una vez la muerte.

Beliavsky Gambit





Alexander Beliavsky is a product of the legendary Soviet School of Chess and once a contemporary of Anatoly Karpov.  "Big Al" as he's affectionately know as, is a four-time USSR Champion (1974, 1980, 1987 and 1990), and has played at the Olympiad for three countries, first starting with the USSR, the latest being his now adopted homeland of Slovenia. In his time at the top, Big Al was a noted theorisist - and in 1996, he came up with an interesting line in the classical Nimzo-Indian after  1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4 4 Qc2 d5 5 cxd5 Qxd5 6 Nf3 Qf5 7 Qd1 e5!? that quickly got christened “The Beliavsky Gambit”.  The Beliavsky Gambit was quickly adopted by other top stars  such as Adams and Khalifman.  Although out of fashion these days, it has never been refuted outright.

But top US Women’s player, IM Irina Krush, came up with her own counter-gambit to eschew the complications of the Beliavsky gambit, with the enterprising 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4 4 Qc2 d5 5 cxd5 Qxd5 6 Nf3 Qf5 7 Qb3 c5 8 a3 Bxc3+ 9 Qxc3 Nbd7 10 g4!?

Cordel Gambit





Oskar Cordel (1843-1913) was not so much a top player in Germany but more thought of as a theorists on the game, with many published opening books and magazine articles to his name.  Nevertheless, the author did leave a lasting legacy of two variations in the Ruy Lopez he championed: the Cordel variation and the Cordel gambit with 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 Bc5 4 c3 f5?! The Cordel gambit can lead to some very strange positions and there are many bizarre responses to it - but ultimately it has never proved to be strictly sound, though it is useful as a surprise weapon when you are looking for wild, tactical games.  The Cordel gambit has been adopted as such by modern-day grandmasters Ivan Sokolov, Ian Rogers and Jonny Hector.

20 centimetros



20 centímetros

No es amor lo que siento,
a 20 centímetros de distancia
siento el deseo de sus labios en mi cara.

20 años de amor,
20 centímetros entre ella y yo,
20 centímetros
entre mis ojos y su foto en el monitor.
