Video Analysis of the game.

Here is some video analysis of the game between Magnus Carlsen and the World. It was done by an American National Master. You may also like to go to GM Susan Polgar's blog for analysis of the game. There is a link to her blog at the bottom right of the page. You may find it informative to compare my analysis with the two stronger players analysis to pick up on my mistakes. :)

My Analysis of the game

You should be aware I am not a strong player. So the analysis is not going to be great. If you are a weaker player than me you might find it informative. I have also posted the analysis on gameknot since the site gives you the ability to annotate games. You can also make them public so other players on the site can leave comments. Its a good way to improve your chess. I have included the votes made on each move which you may also find interesting.

Magnus Carlsen 1 The World 0

There was no doubt that Carlsen would win this game. I had fun voting on the game even when it got laggy quite often and I had to reload the page. I've posted the game so you can go through it at your leisure I may give analysing the game a go. Using my brain of course and not Rybka. There were 44,000 people voting on the game according to the host website. The combined might of Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Hikaru Nakamura and Judit Polgar plus a large number of chess enthusiasts couldn't stand up to Magnus Carlsen. We all had fun though and that's the main thing.

Chess eBooks on the Kindle 3

I have some photos of the kindle 3 displaying a chess ebook you may find interesting. I own an old printed copy of this book. The books is called The Mammoth Book of Chess by Graham Burgess. The version I have in print is the second edition from 2000. There is in fact a new edition of the book that was released in 2009. There is an electronic edition of this book as well as the printed one. The pictures show a page with chess pieces since I thought chess players would be interested to see how it displays them. I think you'll agree it looks good.
