During the eighth round, somewhere when Svidler started his attack against Kramnik's king, I had an interview with GM Loek van Wely. During the WCC in Mexico Loek is the second of no-one less than the world champion. I asked him what it's like to work for Kramnik, compared to Topalov and Kamsky, for whom he used to work before. Furthermore, we talked about how a chess player benefits from being a second and what information he can take with him to his own tournaments and what not. Watch the interview here:
