FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss: Round 1 Highlights
Each day, I'll be recording a few videos designed to bring you some educational, entertaining insight into a few games or key moments that didn't get as much love as they deserve from the main broadcast. Below is my analysis and videos from Round 1 of the FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss.
These will be titled "Missed On the Isle" videos, and here I'm going to post whatever written analysis I have that goes along with it. It won't be quite as detailed as my FIDE World Cup analysis was, but still, offers a little more insight into the games than what the videos can communicate.
Hope you enjoy!
