Te Gek. Leuke plaat man.

Keep em coming !

great as ever! thank you guys

Great job! I was wondering what Anand and Topalov were argueing about.

Disgusting noise

Thanks for the video, and not to sound unappreciative, but I really could do without the music.

on my pc I can turn the sound down if I wish to ;-)

hey guys great vid!!!! music also good :)

Hahaha :-) Nice video and good music!

nice video, nice footage, and the soundtrack was a joke, right? Or was it?

I liked it! Good stuff. Thank god for the internet :-)

I loved it!! The soundtrack made it very lively.

Please go back to the old style videos. If I want music and jump-cuts, I'll watch TV. Two things made the live videos fun: getting a feel for the atmosphere in the playing hall, and then learning something from the post-mortems. This offered neither.

We want analysis (just like in corus).

:)

That was fantastic!!

Can't wait for the post mortems.

In response to the nay sayers. 1. We don't get chess on T.V. here (Australia)
2. My P.C. also has a volume control funny that.

Without a proper poll, there will always be "nay sayers". People are simply voicing their opinion in hopes that future presentations will suit taste. Who is to say they will get what they want?

I agree the photography was well done (someone said "setting the mood"). However, I did not care for the music either. I like to hear the ambient noise, since I've never been to a super-gm tournement.

Also, does anyone yet know what Anand and Topa were arguing about? Was it during the game? I do not believe I've ever seen a post-mortem with Topa (no friends?), so maybe that's all Anand gets, is a discussion at the board, not in back room...

good job - very nice video and music !!!

I agree with luiez: we definitely want analysis - just like in corus !!!

WOW, more, let's have more.

Hi great video! And the music was also great; but then I'm a big fan of Steppenwolf.

Is it my imagination or have videos improved in quality? They load very fast too.

Thanks and good job Chessvibes!!

The music isn't bad - don't understand why the knock, isn't analysis, isn't interview, just a brief clip of the tournament site in general. I especially liked the scene with the rows upon rows of olive trees talked about in Chessbase of Linares. Nice to see what the countryside looks like.

[lang_nl]Voor iedereen die wacht op de 'persconferenties': hoe de spelers hun partij uitlegden met een demonstratiebord bij Corus, is vrij uniek. In Linares kunnen we waarschijnlijk niet voor zulke filmpjes zorgen maar we zullen in de toekomst zeker proberen spelers en toernooiorganisatoren ertoe aan te zetten![/lang_nl][lang_en]For all who are waiting for 'press conferences': the way de players showed their games with a demo board is quite unique for Corus. We probably won't be able to do videos like these. But we will certainly try to encourage players and organizers in the future![/lang_en]

Great video! 10x :)

Great video, and good music! Let the knights dance....

Nice stuff, maybe the music should change, depending on the best game. So if Moro wins, we could listen to some russian music, if Anand dores, some music from India - but what kind of music do they play in Norway?

Keep it running!

I really loved it. I guess if it was to Wham! or something I really destest then would have had a problem but it was to magic carpet ride, what's not to like?

Post mortems even at Wijk tend to be down to the mood of the players, it would also depend what kind of access Macauley had to any players areas. The Wijk press conferences were instituted when I think it might have been Timman complained that the journalists were getting all his games wrong so they said you should come and explain.

At the end Anand and Topalov were clearly having a post-mortem discussion on stage, it wasn't that long a game anyhow.

Very nice footage of stuff you'd actually want to see within the confines of what you can actually do whilst they're playing. Obviously it would be nice to get a time scramble but I think that might not even be possible.

Come on! Everyone there want to ride a magic carpet! All is great.. more videos. :-)

Yuck. The only difference between this and half of the "music videos" on YouTube is that the video clips happen to be taken from Linares footage and not from the creator's favourite Japanese cartoon.

I want to hear the sounds of the tournament, as others have noted, not a damn remix of one of the most overplayed songs in classic rock.

Great work, really enjoyed both image and sound. Especially like shots of moving pieces one after the other and the post mortem Anand - Topalov. Nice to just get the scene, the faces and some of excitement of top level chess. Keep 'em coming.
Post mortem's especially useful.

Great video guys!
Cool to see the super gm's at the board...music was fine!
More to come we hope!

Very nice!

Good Luck Magnus

More to come hope!

Nice shots, nice music!
