Monty Python

Svidler at the 2010 Russian Championship. Maria Fominykh's caption to this photo: "Whenever Svidler appeared in the press centre he was the centre of attention. People keep saying that chess needs professional commentators. We've found at least one, but for now he plays chess too well." http://chesspro.ru/_events/2010/super_m_fominih2.html | photo: ChessPro

GM Peter Svidler answers your questions: Part II

By mishanp on January 5, 2011

Here at last! Part Two of Svidler’s “KC-Conference” saw Peter answer reader questions on an enormous range of topics, from the standard – e.g. why he chose the Grunfeld and how to improve at chess, to others you’ll struggle to find elsewhere – e.g. why he wears an earring and whether he has chess-related dreams.
