Press conference Topalov
This is what I had in mind, when I talked to tournament director Jeroen van den Berg during the Essent Tournament in Hoogeveen and proposed to make videos during Corus. The daily press conferences by the top players, in which they explain their game to the journalists in the press room seemed like excellent material to me for showing to a bigger audience. And it is. Watch and enjoy this free chess lesson by the world's highest rated player. (And do the same with a part of the post-mortem of the game Motylev-Anand!)Topalov explains his game against Van Wely from the second round. The press conference took more than 22 minutes so it's cut in three parts (YouTube only accepts videos of at most ten minutes):Part IPart IIPart III
And here a long video with the last part of the post-mortem of Motylev-Anand:
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.”
