  • chessvibes : "On the third day of the Candidates matches in Kazan Russia we saw the best round so far. Boris Gelfand beat Shakhriyar Mamedyarov with the black pieces in a 6.Bc4 Najdorf. The other three games ended in draws...Building up a kingside attack, it seems that Mamedyarov played one inaccurate queen move. This allowed a central push by Gelfand, who continued strongly with an exchange sacrifice and later a piece sacrifice"

  • where is carlsen and nakamura?!

  • Only one will survive...

  • so epic

  • This video is art - more of this, please ...

  • Wow! Did Kamsky qualify instead of Nakamura for the US??? I don't know how it works, I'm just guessing... And Carlsen didn't want to compete in the world championship again??... These 2 players are like my favorites. How sad!

  • very good

  • @LuxusOhr yes. The analogy is fitting. Samurai. Alert, and at the same time, filled with the eternal nothingness, and therefore able to achieve balance quickly if attacked.

  • Well made video...has some subtle elements w crowd-shots, and music and editing,,,that really make something nice in my opinion

  • Yes, I think Mr. Mamedyarov was not very happy at the match. Did not even want to take the clipboard from Gefland, but rather, handed to the referee and he then gave it to Shakhriyar.

    Damned exciting match, even with draws.

    Great job, and good musical match, too. (I almost thought you matched it to Boris twirling his prize...)
