Este libro es, ni m\u00e1s ni menos, el Libro del a\u00f1o 2020 de la Librer\u00eda C\u00e1lamo. Y eso es mucho. Va en primer lugar mi felicitaci\u00f3n a mi librer\u00eda zaragozana de referencia y mi agradecimiento a sus lectores por haber votado este estupendo libro, editado por Pepitas de Calabaza.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl pe\u00f3n\u201d va de ajedrez y, sobre todo, va de peones, de personas que se saben peones, que tal vez sue\u00f1an con convertirse en damas, pero siempre saben en qu\u00e9 bando est\u00e1n y qu\u00e9 rol juegan. Siempre hacia adelante, antifascistas, pacifistas o defensores de las libertades, por debajo de otras piezas, caballos, alfiles, torres, damas y reyes.<\/p>\n
El pe\u00f3n protagonista del libro es Arturito Pomar, nuestro pobre cartero espa\u00f1ol, temprano fuera de serie en el ajedrez, y como otros ni\u00f1os rotos de la canci\u00f3n o del cine, relegados al ostracismo en un \u201cpa\u00eds cainita y desagradecido que abandon\u00f3 a su ni\u00f1o prodigio\u201d.<\/p>\n
En paralelo a nuestro mejor ajedrecista durante los pesados a\u00f1os del franquismo, otro pe\u00f3n de la Guerra Fr\u00eda, jugador sensacional, Bobby Fischer, procedente de un mundo lejano, Estados Unidos, con una ambici\u00f3n que le lleva a ser el n\u00famero 1 del mundo (en tablas con nuestro Arturito) y, a continuaci\u00f3n, un renegado de su rol imperial y perseguido por sus rebeld\u00edas y desacatos.<\/p>\n
Paco Cerd\u00e0 alterna la rese\u00f1a de la m\u00edtica partida entre ambos en Estocolmo en 1962, con una minuciosa cr\u00f3nica de sus dos vidas y un collage diverso de personas que durante esos a\u00f1os se implicaron en las luchas antifascistas o por los derechos civiles. Juli\u00e1n Grimau, Gary Powers, \u201cCaracremada\u201d, Robert F. Williams, Rom\u00e1n Alonso Urdiales, Ronald Stokes o Marcos Ana son algunos de esos peones. Quiz\u00e1s echemos en falta alguna mujer pe\u00f3n (o peona).<\/p>\n
As\u00ed, este libro es un tributo al compromiso y la implicaci\u00f3n personal, a la tenacidad y constancia de muchas personas diversas que lucharon y luchan por un mundo mejor, desde un bando determinado, delimitado y marcado, negras o blancas,. Aunque peones y reyes \u201cnunca se cruzan pese a compartir tablero o bando\u201d\u2026 \u201cuna vez terminado el juego, el rey y el pe\u00f3n vuelven a la misma caja\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
