Press conference Anand

23 January 2007 19:10 PM | Last modified: 0:49

Of the Big Three, we had only Anand left to explain a game before our camera. It was him who used the demo board today, afther his (slightly lucky) win with White against Loek van Wely. At the end of the video Vishy answers some questions as well, like whether his resignation against Topalov was premature, and how he explains his less successful appearance this year. Have fun again with the press conference, and this time also with fragments of the post-mortem!

Jan. 24, 0.50 CET: Problems with the press conference video have been solved.

    Thanks again! The board is much clearer and easier to see than in the post-mortems of the previous rounds, which is great.

    “Can someone post the transcript of the last few questions that were directed at Vishy…”

    No transcript but the questions were something like:

    1. Did you resign prematurely in the game with Topalov?

    2. What do you think of your chances in the tournament?

    3. What accounts for the falloff in your performance here this year when compared to your previous efforts?

    @Pankaj, paraphrasing

    Just some questions about whether Vishy has any chances of winning the tournament. Vishy is quite skeptical. He calls the tournament a disaster, but says he still has 4 games left and will take it game by game. He says he will wait till after the tournament to do post mortem on his play.

    @ Pankaj
    Do watch the video once more. The questions (and answers) are loud and clear now.

    Thank you Corus and Chess Vibes folks for posting these videos!

    It is nice to see all these post-game analysis by these top players. It is also very nice to go beyond the names and pictures of these players and associate them with their voices and their styles in analysing the games.

    Thanks a ton! Keep up the good work! We chess fans appreciate it a lot!!!

    Ik vind mooi filmpjes een van de beste tot
    nu toe.Meneer Anand geeft uitleg van deze
    variant op een zeer hoog nivo,een interesant is dat hij spel dat goed een met wit een met zwart,paar dagen geleden hij heeft een partij in dezelfde variant ook met zwart gewone.van
    Wely assistiert een volgt dat alles met veel succes en dat verhoogt kwaliteit van filmpjes.
    Groeten aan Peter

    Uitstekende verfilming van de indrukwekkende presentaties van Anand, Topalov en Kramnik. Jammer dat een aantal barbaren in de perskamer hier altijd doorheen kwekt. Die dienen terstond met één vuistslag tegen de grond geslagen te worden en afgevoerd naar een afvalcontainer op straat. kun je dat dan ook vastleggen Peter? Je haalt dan meteen CNN en andere bekende zenders.

    Watching the other video where Anand analyzes with Van Wely you can clearly see how fast Anand thinks.. Its impressive indeed!!

Got something to say?
