This Week's ChessVideos Show: Kamsky-Svidler, World Cup 2011
Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 8:40PM
As most if not all of you are aware, Peter Svidler won a nice game against Gata Kamsky a day or two ago (depending on your time zone), complete with a spectacular winning game bound for future anthologies. For that reason alone the game deserves publicity, but it's a rich game even aside from its classic coup de grace.
Accordingly, I give the game a close look in my ChessVideos show this week, which you can access here. These shows are always available for free (free registration is required) and on-demand for about a month or so, after which they're available for some small fee in the archives.

Wow! What an exciting game! What a surprising and brilliant finish! Playing through the moves the first time at the Chessbase site, it really looked to me like Svidler was about to be crushed after Kamsky's 18.Bb1.
Thanks Dennis for your excellent commentary. It made the game all the more enjoyable.
