Joint press conference Radjabov & Topalov

28 January 2007 19:23 PM | Last modified: 22:52

Because the two gentlemen ended first by drawing their game, both Teimour Radjabov and Veselin Topalov were asked to explain their game. They accepted and so we’re glad that we can broadcast this little show as well. Unfortunately Radjabov is standing before the demo board a lot, but the cameraman (yours truly) couldn’t move being stuck between members of a Bulgarian and an Armenian televison crew. But guess who’s publishing the material first. ;-)

    Thank you, Peter!

    These videos certainly added pleasure to following the tournament.

    congratulations Radjavob

  4. vasko on 28 January 2007 20:04 PM

    Nice sense of humor by Topalov about the notorious article in the German newspaper :)

    Radjabov next world champion

  6. Inácio de Freitas on 28 January 2007 20:12 PM

    Dear friends, it was a great, great tournament! Topalov and Radjabov were realy above others, since Kramnik seems had played just “to pass his time” and neiteher Anand or Aronian don’t find their better center.

    About the final round, the 13° move by Topalov was a incredible moment! I don’t remember - in early months and tournaments ago - a so impressive, clever and unusual move! Realy an act of corage and accuracy (maybe remembering Capablanca’s cold analises!).

    Congratulations to both champions.

    The question, now, can be that: who of then will chalenge Karmnik, at the WC cicle, on september/october 2007?…

    Abraces to all, from Brasil.

  10. kenan on 28 January 2007 21:19 PM

    RADJABOV is the best1

  11. NJT on 28 January 2007 21:52 PM

    Bravo, Radjabov! We should thank Teymour for his star performance particularly given that he is relatively young. He has brilliantly proved that he is a promising chess player. Teymour has dispelled all doubts that he is the Next Champion!!!

  12. Pedro on 28 January 2007 22:04 PM

    Thank you very much!
    All videos transmited by Chessvibes were excellent!!

    “”About the final round, the 13° move by Topalov was a incredible moment! I don’t remember - in early months and tournaments ago - a so impressive, clever and unusual move”"

    Inacio it seems you missed this game was a copy of 10th game of Elista match. In which that Kramnik won the game with that so called genious 13th move :D This is not a new foundation Topalov did before and lost, because other time his opponent was great Kramnik the Champion!!

  14. Hayri Kaya on 28 January 2007 22:33 PM

    And Inacio as Topalov today said he studied this whole at home :D This is not his own move, may be the software that he uses at home or may be his trainer friends topalov is a home-prepared star not a genious don’t forget this!

    Is there any possibility to eliminate (discretely) the person that goes “SssssT” (thereby making inaudible ANYTHING else) for half a dozen times each recording?

    I realize it’s a bit late this time, but perhaps he could get an accident, or some crippling disease, or get poisoned before the next edition?

  16. Henry Brown on 28 January 2007 23:01 PM

    Great Tournament

    Thank you to all, making this one of the best chess tournaments in the world.
    My congratulations go to all winners, especially to Aronian, the only player who didn’t loose a single game during the entire tournament.

    Bravo Levon!!!

    God Bless you All!

  17. thenewone on 28 January 2007 23:02 PM

    Hayri Kaya you’re so competent
    are you a GM?

    Nice job, Chessvibes!!! It was great to watch your videos just minutes after the events!

  18. Tashak on 28 January 2007 23:18 PM

    Hıyar Kaya , your chess understanding and interpretations are limmitted to being in love with Sralnik and nothing more. Please do not mention Topi at all in your comments ,since you are far away from the game he plays.

  19. David on 29 January 2007 3:34 AM

    The game Topalov played was exact replica of the 10th game with Kramnik in Elisa as said above.
    Plus I heard some things about Radja’s and Topa’s managers connections to each other. I hope this is not the case, but hey, these days…. everything can happen. Even in chess….
    I don’t know.
    My full credit goes to Levon Aronian, which could have easily get the full 1 point in round 12 and become true champion without sharing his 1st place with Topalov and Radjabov.
    GOOD JOB ARONIAN!!!!! UNDEFEATED!!!!!
    A TRUE FOLLOWER OF OUR GREAT CHAMPION TIGRAN PETROSIAN…..
    APRESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Concerning the joint press conference Radjabov & Topalov, we have to say to Radjabov: the body isn´t transparent!!

  21. Anar on 29 January 2007 6:35 AM

    It was an excellent tournament
    The best player of the tournament without any reservation is Teimour Radjabov taking into condsideration his age and experience. I can say with complete determination that he is the next world champion
    Teimour-1987
    Kramnik and Topalov-1975
    Kasparov-1963-All four are from the same year circle
    Adding this Radja is next world champion!!!
    Inference

  22. Ugur on 29 January 2007 7:44 AM

    Topalov and Radjabov had great play in this championship. But Teymour could be in better position. and yeh, Aronian was lucky that Both Finalists tied.

  23. Elnur on 29 January 2007 7:51 AM

    Təşəkkürlər Teymur

    It would be awesome if you can cover the same way the Linares Tournament! I hope it’s possible! Great job for the Corus Tournament :) !

  29. Armen on 29 January 2007 15:10 PM

    Levon is Champion!!!

  30. Mahesh Motiramani on 29 January 2007 15:24 PM

    Mahesh

    Nowadays you don’t need to go to these chess tournaments, provided they are organised and lead in the way Corus did it. Really great. I had partly the impression I was there, altough I sat at home.
    I hope that Corus becomes an example for all big tournaments to follow.
    Radja and Toppi were really great, but the next big player to come ist Aronian, he will overtake both.
    It’s strange, that the world champion couln’t reach a higher position, not to speak about his Elo-quotient. But that seems to be possible only in chess.
    A little bit sad for me: Anand was not in his best shape. He could have played better.

    Thank you Corus!!!

  31. Azer on 29 January 2007 16:50 PM

    Radjabov the Best!!!

  32. ZLOY_NL on 29 January 2007 20:49 PM

  35. Ahmed ekram on 2 February 2007 12:53 PM

    We really enjoyed this tournament and thanks for the vedio replay that motivates up to play chess more and more :)

    By the way , for Topalov all the moves are “critical” try to count how many times he say critical in his analysis :) anyways good luck for both of the champions.

  36. Stevo on 21 March 2007 11:56 AM

    Off topic question: Does anyone know where to get a demo board like the one used in this video?

    Cheers . . .

  37. peter on 21 March 2007 11:59 AM

    Well, I wouldn’t know. You might email the Corus organisers, to get in touch with their carpenter ;-)

  38. Stevo on 21 March 2007 12:37 PM

    LOL, yeah I’ve already sent an email to Corus - no reply as yet.

  39. Santi on 15 August 2007 5:08 AM
