Nakamura-Ponomariov blitz tiebreak on videoThis early morning we received an email from David Llada, one of the organizers of the Donostia (San Sebastián) Chess Festival who made those great pictures there and who... also tried out his video camera, as it turned out. The two blitz games between Nakamura and Ponomariov were recorded and so you can watch both tiebreak games on video (and finally see the end of game 2). Enjoy!

David wrote us that somehow, when converting the videos there appeared a black margin in the lower part of the framing that even takes part of the board. Luckily 99% of the action can be seen anyway.
