He just didn’t want to. But the organizers had a talk with him and now he does.

Could anybody tell me why Ivanchuck is not speaking English at the press conferences? Is he mad for something in particular?

To give credit/justice to Shipov: He gave all those moves until 33.Qc7! – have a look at the official website (or Chessbase) … .

Concerning Shipov’s analysis in the game Svidler-Leko: after 27.Bxg7+ Kg7 28.Qe5+ Kg8 29.Nf5 I did not see how to proceed after 29..f6, for instance 30.Qg3+ Kh8 and now what? Then I saw 31.Re7!, but after 31..Qxe7 32.Nxe7 Nxe7 black has a lot of material. Only after I found 33.Qc7! (winning a piece) I understood why Shipov gave the evaluation +-. But did the variation stop after 29.Nf5? I see that often in analysis…

Vladimir Alekseev is not playing in this tournament. Could it be that you mean Evgeny Alekseev?
