[wallstreetatheist]

What specific model is this chess set?

[luckystrke]

@wallstreetatheist I have the same question. Did you find out what chess set it was?

[wallstreetatheist]

@luckystrke Sadly, no.

[mitchellhodgemeyer]

@luckystrke See my reply to wallstreetathiest below.

[mitchellhodgemeyer]

@wallstreetatheist The pieces and board are made by DGT, a company based in the Netherlands that produces chess clocks and electronic boards (which can "sense" which pieces are on which squares, and relay this information to a computer). This is the standard equipment used at almost all top-level chess tournaments. I think DGT calls this particular set of pieces the "Timeless" style.

@luckystrike

Hi guys, since you are interested in chess sets. Do you know which ones have been used in (some of) the WC matches? And do you know what happened to the original sets?

Amazing. Been running from building noises all day in he street, get home from a hard days work, showered, eaten a nice meal, chilling out with youtube with the above blitz game and out of nowhere a building grinder erupts through the chess hall.?!?!?!? But it's not the fault of the nice chap who downloaded this nice game for me and everybody else who'll enjoy this game. THANK YOU.

[MrHussainJanahi]

Whomever is using his drill or juice machine or whatever that freaking ugly noise is, should be kicked in the head and then thrown out of that hall. These people have no respect to the beauty of the game and the artists performing on board. Cool game though, really liked it, don't forget its political background too. Thanks for sharing this.

[antifascistas68]

whats that noise?!

[rebelsouljaz]

theres a lot of things i woulda done different and i think would have made for an easier win

[ICarnag3I]

what's aronian's opening called?

[Achab94]

@ICarnag3I it's like an est-indian

[stephenkingrules1]

@ICarnag3I It's a Fianchetto variation of the King's Indian...

@nurlan661 Radjabov

[Ronbo710]

I wish Kasparov would have worked with Radja - his countryman. So sad his attitude after losing to him in that one game.

[azeriradio]

nice game by Radjabov

[svisves]

Very nice technique; after Bc8 the b6 pawn is taboo!

[Zakdayak]

@svisves Because of the lateral pin?

[svisves]

@Zakdayak Yes; if Rb6, then re6 pins the white bishop! Ra6 is not possible and Rb8 is met by rc6 winning the bishop and guarding black's.

[Zakdayak]

@svisves YES!

[MrDimakoles]

greate chess. thanks for video!
