World Chess Championship
Finally a decisive result. The game itself was not the most exciting I’ve ever seen, in fact I fell asleep watching it live. Peter Leko’s commentary was partly responsible 🙂 Karpov made an appearance and showed why he dominated Chess for over a decade. He was my childhood hero
On the official site you can watch the games live with special guest appearances like Kasparov and Karpov. Doesn’t get much better. Chessvibes is my daily first-coffee site and again they have great reports. Youtube has a good video of game 7 commentated by someone who sounds like Michael Caine (IM Andrew Martin) and for analysis and some interesting gossip go to Susan Polgar’s website.
I predict the next few games will be a lot more exciting as Vishy now has to go all out to win a game, otherwise the title he has had since 2007 will be gone. Will the real Vishy please step forward!
Here in round 3, I was again paired down. Noticable is that again the Queen’s Rook ( 15Ra-e1) was activated before concrete operations.
Next post “Hjorth Attack” Toodles 🙂
