This video series will cover the 2010 World Chess Championship taking place in Sofia between the current champion Viswanathan Anand and the challenger Veselin Topalov. For this series I will be focusing mainly on my impressions of the games as they take place, as opposed to detailed computer analysis. The game PGN's will be placed on my blog and I encourage you to analyze the games and post your thoughts on the lines and the action that goes down on the 64 square battlefield.

what happens at 15:14

[wiwi4dodi]

@PiroInTexas because anand would trade bishop for the knight b*e4.....f*e4 R*h1....e5 h4....g*h4 g*h4....and no matter what anand has a passed pawn on the h file while his king will block the e pawn of topalov...so ke4 would havee been punished ...

[PiroInTexas]

This might be a dumb question/observation as I am just now trying to improve and look at chess matches more in depth but at 18:12 instead of moving rook to d6, why not move Knight to e4? that makes c3 inaccessible to the rook, and if black wishes to trade bishop for knight, pawn on f3 could take the bishop. While still relativity even it gives him a pawn on an open file that can't be taken because of the rook bearing on 6. If I missed something please let me know.

J i really like your commentaries. Very well done. Thank you for your insight!

omg this game should be called the queen pawn open

[tonyfalca]

at 16:47 why doesnt anand put knight on c5?

[tonyfalca]

@Zasssu me2 for the 2011 championships, where could i watch them for relatively cheap?

[tonyfalca]

@tonyfalca then hed open up queen side for a pawn push on the A&B columns...

[tonyfalca]

hmmm...at 4:47 when white's queen and knight are forked, if anands going to give up his bishop anyways, why not take black's B pawn and then take the A pawn that captures?
