Svidler on Rd 9: “As I don’t know the Grünfeld Defence…”

By mishanp on October 1, 2010

Peter Svidler’s win with black in round 9 kept Russian hopes alive, and he gave an entertaining account of the day’s play to Vladimir Barsky for the Russian Chess Federation website. Meanwhile, some remarkable turnarounds in the women’s event inspired Sergey Shipov to formulate a law of women’s chess.

"If it comes to an endgame the trainers need Validol"

“If it comes to an endgame the trainers need Validol”

By mishanp on September 24, 2010

That comment on the endgame prowess of female chess players was one of the highlights of Evgeny Bareev’s assessment of the Russian performance in round 2 of the Olympiad. He also describes the non-chess factors behind Kramnik’s win, and how Svidler was permitted to offer a draw before things went from bad to worse.

“Svidler is Svidler” – Bareev on the Russian team’s start

By mishanp on September 22, 2010

Russian first team captain Evgeny Bareev, not a man to mince his words, gave a refreshingly blunt assessment of the first day’s play at the Olympiad. The Russian press also included some excellent photo reports, with Vladimir Barsky’s description of his “chess flight” particularly memorable.
