All open again in Sofia
After victories by Sasikiran, Kamsky and Topalov the Mtel Masters everything is possible again in Sofia. After the sixth round Sasikiran and Mamedyarov are leading but Kamsky and Nisipeanu, all down in the standings, follow by only a point. Especially during Nisipeanu and Topalov's press conference the players were analysing a lot while speaking to each other and therefore I decided to add some chess board animation to the video. Besides, the videos of today not only contain the press conferences but also images of the start of the round.Games round six:Standings after round 6:1. Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar g AZE 2757 3.5 2. Sasikiran, Krishnan g IND 2690 3.5 3. Adams, Michael g ENG 2734 3.0 4. Topalov, Veselin g BUL 2772 3.0 5. Nisipeanu, Liviu-Dieter g ROM 2693 2.5 6. Kamsky, Gata g USA 2705 2.5Here are the videos. As said before, we have quite good video material of the soccer match that was played on the restday but the editing takes a lot of time so you have to wait a bit more for this.
