"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.
