Post-mortem Svidler-Leko
Tonight the last footage we received from Morelia. It's the post-mortem of the game Svidler-Leko from round 5. A Marshall Gambit that ended in a quick draw, and it seemed a bit of a boring game. But last Saturday I spoke to chess journalist GM Ian Rogers, who was in Moralia for more than a week, and he assured me that the game was much deeper than you would expect. The fact that both players had nothing better than to repeat the moves, had some quite deep stuff behind it. And this is exactly what you can see in the video.
