  • hmmm shaky, alexandra lives in hometown miami, FL USA no moscow, Russia

  • yeah I'm sometimes in Miami, sometimes in Europe. Now I'm in Moscow and will stay in Europe till December, lots of tournaments this year (Olympiads in Dresden, World Championship normal chess and Chess960 in Mainz and World Mind Games in China and other tournaments. My training is usually in Moscow, there are more GM's in Moscow than in the whole world combined I think.

  • Great game Kosteniuk! You play with a match Rybka 4?

  • 2:07 Bishop f4, atack d6 with the queen, the rook and the bishop

  • So, on move 28. Knight to F2, offering a knight trade, you said if Black pushed his Rook to C3, would be a loosing game for you? 28. ....RC3 check queen, so 29. B2xC3 B4xC3 open check 30. K to A3 or else check mate if King to A1. Your right your pawn structure will be ruined and king is in a lot of danger. This is a great game, but too fast for me!

  • @dreamtheater39 chess people are weird.Any of them have big Ego,and when they losing, they are simply pist off :D

  • weird...the way they never speak with each other after a game!

  • great video, thank you for sharing, i like how you ended the game Rd1!

  • Balashov looks bemused

  • beautiful attacking game! very impressive. loved the control of the dark squares during the kingside attack. instructive. i'll be watching the other videos. 5 stars.
