Interview Akopian + post-mortems
With this article the last material from Karlovy Vary is published. Firstly, an interview with Vladimir Akopian about the success of the Armenian team, the rise of China and the chances of his compatriot Aronian in Mexico. Furthermore I've taken up an old hobby: filming post-game analysis. The players didn't mind the camera to watch alongside, and so you can watch the post-mortems of Ponomariov-Navara and Korchnoi-Timman from the second round.Interview Akopian:
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms.
Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools.
Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013.
As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
In October, Peter's first book The Chess Revolution will be published!
