Qatar Masters 2015
Watch it live on Playchess!
When the games are running, clicking on the above link will take you to our live broadcast. It is free and open to all – as a Premium Account member you have access to the Live Book, Chat, chess engine analysis – all in your browser, on a notebook, tablet or even your smartphone. And the Let's Check function will show you what the most powerful computers in the world think of the current position, as each move is being played.
In the broadcast below, on the side of each board is an evaluation meter, showing you which side is better. The small "x" button on the top right of each board will remove it from the broadcast. If you remove two games you will have four larger boards. Removing four will give you two even larger boards, and removing five will give you just one very large board. Refresh the page (Ctrl-R) to return to the six most popular boards.
|
You can also click the "+" icon at the bottom right of the broadcast window to increas the number of boards. There are other functions there: you can download PGNs of the running games and even start an engine by clicking the robot button.
Note that you can view moves and statistics in the opening (with the Live Book switched on) and even analyse on the boards while the games are being broadcast, by moving pieces and using the engine – best in multiple line mode. Is there a better way to follow the games?

It may interest you to know that you can use the same broadcast service above on your blog or web site.
It is simply a matter of copying and pasting a line or two of code. Try it out: instructions are here.
Round seven
By Nisha Mohota
The eagerly awaited clash between Magnus Carlsen and Anish Giri ended in a fighting draw from the Sicilian Najdorf. Thus, Giri can still boast of a plus score in Classical Chess against Carlsen, who tried hard but in vain to win.
After yesterday’s escape against Anish Giri, Surya Sekhar Ganguly entered a wild position against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. The game was full of fireworks with the evaluation of the position changing with every move, making the game a complete treat for the fans! After a topsy-turvy battle, Mamedyarov finally won the game after 85 moves.
We are here to entertain the spectators! Our kings are brave!
With victories in rounds six and seven, Russian GM Sanan Sjugirov joins Carlsen and Mamedyarov at the top. In round seven he won against Dmitry Jakovenko.
