Etienne Mensch, Maître International, explorateur du numérique et de... l’Histoire du jeu d'échecs !
Il a été très actif pendant une quinzaine d’années comme entraîneur ; l’un de ses élèves, Bilel Bellahcene, a obtenu la médaille de bronze aux Championnats du Monde Jeunes –de 16 ans en 2014 et est devenu Grand-Maître.
Etienne concilie sa passion pour le Jeu d‘Echecs et le numérique en participant dès que l'occasion se présente à l’organisation d’événements, notamment aux retransmissions live (productions audiovisuelles, parties jouées en direct).
27/02/2020 – Nous avons choisi de montrer quelques éléments particulièrement frappants de l'héritage du Maestro. Le lecteur pourra ainsi découvrir : Von Bruehl - Philidor (0-1), une partie commentée avec un thème très cher au
grand joueur français : les pions passés liés.
La "Nulle de Philidor" : la très célèbre manœuvre de tour en finale qui permet au camp ayant un pion de moins de tenir la nulle !
Enfin, un peu de théorie des ouvertures avec la Défense Philidor qui a été remise au goût du jour. Elle est encore très pratiquée aujourd'hui !
