[...] According to the Chessvibes visitors, Topalov is the big favourite. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if Anand will be seriously playing for gold this tournament, just like Aronian. So it might be a very exciting tournament, just like a month ago. Carlsen didn’t have a very succesful Wijk aan Zee but to us, this doesn’t mean a lot. (By the way don’t forget to check the brand new chess blog by his father!) Svidler normally ends somewhere in the middle although we hope for a bit more, after meeting him in Wijk and watching his great press conference there. Morozevich will very much like to prove he’s able to show high tpr’s in elite tournaments as well, but whether he will succeed… As said before, with no preperation, and nobody who prepared for him, Ivanchuk will win the tournament of course.

What a wonderful presentation by Svidler: He won me over as a fan.

Thanks a lot to the people who put these press conferences online: It is wonderful to see the players present their thoughts, and as the tournament progressed I more and more started to look forward to the beautiful things that would appear on this site. Many thanks, and keep up the good work!

Svidler is a class act, I have had the pleasure of two conversations with him. Once in Calvia in 2004 at the Olympiad, and again on Wednesday at Corus.

The thing that amazed was that he remembered every detail of the chat we had two and a half years earlier…Even my occupation and favourite England batsman.

I am not anyone he needed to recall for any reason at all, simply a chess tourist.

His good manners and extraordinary memory were most impressive to say the least.

His English is probably better than mine too.

Fantastisch werk Peter & Co. Ik kom gewoon tijd tekort om alles bij te houden. Te zien aan alle reakties groeit de internationale belangstelling ook aardig.

A rare clarity of explanation, spiced with charming personality. After watching this video, I decided to officially become a Svidler fan

Great, Svidler expalins every thing clear and understable for every body. In each game you always have a chance to winning, in chess a single mistake can trast every thing.
Thanks chessvibes.

it looks prety normal behavior after all, piti thou for topalov.every time he looses such game i hope next time he accepts that 1/2 point is bettere than 0,even whe you miss the hole
