A
Organizing Committee coordinated for the Dean of Universidad de

Profitability
to be elected headquarters
Significance
and the profitability to be elected city the headquarters of a sports
mega event as World Chess Championship San Luis 2005 results from
a lot of political, social and cultural transcendence. The nomination
of a city like headquarters of a global sporting event as is World
Chess Championship San Luis 2005 has for her important political,
consequences cheap to run, technological, but also cultural.
For
the cities, being headquarters represents the historic opportunity
of launching, renewal, promotional for the country and the organizational
city. A set of influences moves through World Chess Championship
San Luis 2005: Investment expenses and consumption, increase of
the occupation (effects cheap to run), the bigger attraction of
the region and the increase of hotel plazas (tourist effects), improvement
in the infrastructure in general and in the sports infrastructure
(infrastructure), the bigger evaluation of the population of experiences
correlated to sports and to the free time, the fomentation of cultural
moral values and traditions (social and cultural effects), and the
increase of the local identity (psychological effects).
The
cities that right now have pending some project of transformation
and modernization exist and organizing the worldwide championship
of chess means also the possibility to demonstrate of global manner,
to whole the world, competitions that can be profitable for headquarters'
image: The organizational (entrepreneurial) policies (paper own
in national's context), the technological (I develop of the information
technologies of competitive form and with experiments pointers)
cultural (redefining in the worldwide public opinion the stereotypes
of the headquarters) and the tourist (selling the province like
a fashionable place in the world) (Moragas Spa, 1992).
The
construction of sports facilities and the enlargement of sports
offers supposes non monetary benefits that they make possible :
the increase of the identification of the population with the city
and the production of a sentiment of pride and prestige to being
the more important organizers of the sports event, bigger possibilities
to experience positive experiences and news offer forms of leisure
since facilities constructed or improved fit to the entire population's
disposition and are the improvement of communications systems right
after the event for the use of all the city (Moragas Spa, M. 1992).
Cities
the headquarterses get advantages from image and worldwide consideration,
but besides, and thanks to the sale of duties of television and
to the commercialization of symbols, still they can obtain additional
benefits with them that to finance new infrastructures.
The
midways of communication play a double role in mega events. On the
one hand, when they buy the rights of retransmission are important
financing of sports and constitute a pulley of transmission through
which publicity contents are transmitted to various audiences.
The
technologies of communication show visual display screens of last
technology, and an advanced software to digitize the plays in real
time since one of information-technology highways of Argentina more
important possesses St. Luis.
The
mega event offers event to San Luis and to the Argentine worldwide
transcendence that the chess tradition secures of Argentina and
San Luis.
In
order to achieve the triumph in a departure the chess player is
compelled to analyze situations himself, to calculate the plays,
to evaluate the resulting questions and answers. He is in this mode,
combining elements of action diverse on determined spaces to achieve
a partial objective (getting an advantage) or total (the checkmate).
There
is an only manner to do it: Reasoning with, thinking about, the
little boy does it, playing with all spontaneity. The desire to
win carries it to concentrate more and more in behind of triumph,
that results in a mental exercise that will improve his attention,
concentration and intellectual capacities, disciplining his will
and his conduct.
The
pupil goes learning to crosswise of his departures, to control his
impulses, to discipline his conduct, to prevail to a partial trip,
to trust in a precise reasoning, to respect his companion in a game
where the chance does not intervene and the trap is out of place.
In
order to be a game, the chess does not require additional motivation
and acceptance for part of pupils is immediate. Rapidly the game
is pounded home and shared with parents and close relatives, strengthening
the family ties.
Practice
within the course and the realization of tournaments at the school,
inter-school competitions for teams and individual, he contributes
to the social interaction of the all-comers that enjoy a leisure.
The
San Luis chess movement
The
Sanluiseña Chess Federation ( FSA ) conscious chess of the
notable defiance that implies taking part in the organization of
world tournament the realization of the worldly Championship at
lands has backed up San Luis.
Notable
tournaments like the Opens Edesal in 1994 and 1995 brought outstanding
players like the Russian Maxim Sorokin and Gilberto Milos of Brazil.
Miguel Najdorf joined together the Fifth competition of the Clarín
Circuit disputed in Potrero of Funes in 1995 in addition to a score
of entitled players and to the legendary grand Argentine master.
He
has developed in the last ones 18 years a great activity accomplishing
tournaments in distinct places of the province, promoting the formation
and constitution of schools of chess with exiguous resources, coming
true in almost all cases provincial tournaments of distinct categories
where players of notable hierarchy like Jorge Salvador, Ronio Gauycochea,
Marcelo Panelo, Ruben Ferradas came across risen players's new litters
in distinct places with Gonzalo Casares, Mauricio Aguilar, Facundo
Methol, and Pablo Palmero. Chess Club "El Rey", the Biblioteca
Bernardino Rivadavia of Villa Mercedes, The Club "Ajedrez Mercedino"
and "Sin Enroque" of Merlo have worked jointly in fomenting
the activity.
Cultural
influences at cities headquarterses
The
mega events constitute a possibility of encounter through the midways
of communication among a local culture and sports global moral values.
The
worldwide nomination has influence on urban equipment, sports cars,
cultural and of communication on the one hand, and indicates besides,
the appearing of new themes, of new cultural and sports and interrogations
practices of the own identity.
The
fond celebration of the mega vent to distinct types of equipment
and urban, sports, cultural and communication infrastructures. The
celebration of games constitutes a motor privileged for the development
of the communications system and of communicative equipment. The
grand sports events do not generate masses's movements, yes audience's
movements.
Sports
Spanish audiences have been characterized by Jesús Castañón
Rodríguez (2002) as if made for a juvenile profile, with
people understood among 14 and 34 years, by majority manly (85%)
and go to the classroom ankle-length sock, the casualty mediates
and of educational medium levels or directors basically.
The
principal factors of incidence in town headquarters of World Chess
Championship San Luis 2005, the ones that come determined by physical
affluence and personnel are not main character's city, rather the
by-products are of the processes of transmission of information
and communication (Moragas Spa, M. 1992).
The
World Chess Championship San Luis 2005 will determine numerous people's
displacement: Sportsmen, journalists, sports leaders, spectators,
tourists although quantitatively, professional's presence of communication
is more and more important in relation to displaced people's quantity.
Propitiating
the social use of sports activity like form of expression of friendship,
the diversity, the multi cultural and of collaboration, and only
not only as form of expression of the difference of competitiveness.
The
province and city the headquarters prepares and promotes educational
software, cultural and especial students, during preparation and
celebration of the games of the worldwide championship to face up
to unpublished cultural needs.
Motivating
the athletic and sports pilots and strengthening the academic, fact-finding
activity, at the field of the social sciences of sports, specially
at countries like Argentina, in the ones that the tradition of University
sport research like cultural and social phenomenon is still very
limited.
