Did you also count how many times he misplaces the piece that fell on the floor? It is just a matter of placing them properly!

His English is definitely NOT poor! He may speak with a strong accent, and have some difficulties with the correct pronounciation, but his grammar is fine and he has an extensive dictionary.

Anyone know why he takes breaths while he talks like that? Is it because he's nervous? Is it a condition? Just curious.

He shouldn't appologize. Even though his English is poor, it is perfectly clear what he means, and he does the analyse in great detail.

Navara is amazing and his will to share is as rare as it is loved by chess enthusiasts who have the luck to witness his live analysis. During the last Reggio Emilia tournament he was always very available and even analysed one of his loss for the public (His game against Gashimov, that is actually a quite thrilling game where David played very well).
After his game against McShane, at Tata, he analized for what it seemed more than 1 hour to me in the analysis room. I said to John Nunn: 'Navara is the only active player at the top who actually tells you _every single line_ he has seen during the game and the number of them is simply astonighing', at this Nunn replied that he thinks this is only part of what he knew and analized during the game.
We (patzers) just don't imagine what these players know and see during a game...it's simply hundreds times more than we try to do!

I love his modesty, like when he speaks about his colleagues adressing them as 'grandmaster so-and-so'. Nice.

It is absolutely ridiculous that Tata keeps on working with these awful wooden demonstration pieces!

What a strange boy. If he went postal and you read about it in the paper would it surprise you?
Say no more.

Wooden magnetic pieces sounds wonderful! Try it next time!
Thanks Navara for world class annotations! Look forward to more!

Good stuff from GM Navara! And the demo board is just fine.

Thank you GM David, your analysis was very very useful to me, and also to help coach my kids a bit. Thanks for spending so much time, and to CB for hosting the talk!

Very nice and entertaining!

I honestly did not expect such a clear and thorough explanation from somebody that looks and behaves so shy and humble. There really is no reason to feel humble at all! You are one of the best chess players around, and can explain it to simple chess players like me.

Thank you and thank Chessvibes for posting this.

Great presentation and modest.

Fear of Public speaking is said to be the Number One Fear reported in surveys across the globe. I believe hes also speaking in sheer exhilaration, excitement, and thus holding his breath. I hold my breath when i snowboard 20mph down double black . So it could be a mix of both fear and excitement. Practice makes perfect and his English is superb.

Thanks for a wonderful analysis.To all serious chess students,this video is a gem.We don't care about the pronunciation or the grammar.You showed to us,how to win a won game,and also avoids some deep traps.

I absolutely LOVED it. Navara analyses at such depth, it's uncanning. Navara gives such great analyses, his other one - the rook ending - was also amazing. Great stuff! Hope to see more of his analysis next year at Tata A! :)

Thank you very much GM Navara and ChessVibes for this wonderful material!

Navara seems such a good and humble guy, not many over 2700 players would have accepted to play the B tournament. It's great news that Tata's organizers awarded him with an invitation to next year's A Group.

Hi analysis was very good. Even noobs like me could follow his idea. Hope he gets bumped to the A group next year.
