Press conference Anand

9 March 2008 13:53 PM CET | Last modified: 19:26 | By Peter Doggers | Filed under: Reports | Tags:

Here’s Vishy’s press conference, which he gave after his last round game of Morelia/Linares 2008. Amongst other things he spoke about the tournament, about Magnus and about his upcoming match against Kramnik.

This week week you can expect the usual reporting of worldwide chess, and I can already announce that ChessVibes will also be present during the whole Melody Amber Tournament, that already starts next week. So… stay tuned!

Felicidades Anand.
En Morelia fue increible lo bien que jugÃ³, especialmente con negras.
En Linares muy decepcionantes tantas tablas pero le han servido para ganar.
En cualquier caso Enhorabuena.
