Beauty in Chess (I)
As promised, we present you the lecture by IGM Jonathan Rowson which he gave on Monday night, here in the Porto Mannu Residence in Capo d'Orso, Sardinia. The subject: beauty.One of the nice things of this tournament is that a number of the invited grandmasters also give a lecture. This year they are Mihail Marin, Jonathan Rowson, Jacob Aagaard and Tiger Hillarp Persson. The last three will be published here at ChessVibes.So Monday night it was Rowson's turn. The image quality is not great, unfortunately, but still the video is not to be missed! In the background you can hear the rain by the way. Luckily the weather has improved by now.Due to technical reasons the lecture has been split into two parts. Part II will be published shortly. Enjoy!
