Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

Are there going to be any youtube videos of GM postgame press conferences for this years Tournament..
I loved watching the 2008 videos and am wondering if anyone is doing it for this year.

Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

Do they have the post mortem with the large boards and the GM running through the key positions with thoughts?

Yes, 31...Qf6 was better so that Black could play for some advantage; it seems that 32. Nb3 is the only answer because of the loose Ba6 and Nd2 should the Ra1 move away from the a-file. In the game, Nakamura had plenty of time on move 40 and should have played 40...Qb6 leading to a perpetual rather than 40...Qa4 with the idea of trading rooks with ...Rd6 (?), ...Rd1+ which gave White a very nice position to play on after winning the pawn on e7. Aronian found the nice 50. Bg4! to finish the game. Interesting that Lev didn't think he had anything until after 32...Qxe6 even though it's likely to be objectively equal.

Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

I have only a spectators interest in chess.....periodically getting involved passionately for a year then dropping off for a couple.

I really enjoy watching Aronian play.

Why is Boris playing this and Vishy isnt?

Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

Not sure. Boris played some event just before this I think, maybe he's getting some rest now.
Aronian is beating the crap out of Caruana while Carlsen is in some trouble, lead about to be overtaken. Naka-Topa looks really interesting, bad for Naka tho if computer evals are to be believed

Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

yeah, guys seem to be out for blood there.

Do they start with 1:30 on the clock? If so, Aronian has more time than at the start of the game now while Caruana is down to 10 minutes

€ looked it up, they start with 1:40, must still be a pretty frustrating experience for Fabiano...

Re: Wijk aan Zee 2012

Yeah, a complete strategic failure for Black. White hasn't even done anything really remarkable, I wish I could beat 2700+ dudes like that :|
