Video review

The former coach of the German national team divides his video contribution into four topics: The qualified players (Anish Giri and Matthias Bluebaum), The unlucky ones (Vincent Keymer and Alireza Firouzja), The pawn endgames (‘The tournament showed that even strong grandmasters make serious mistakes in pawn endgames!’) and Young talents (Ediz Gurel (16), Abhimanyu Mishra (16), Andy Woodward (15) and Yagız Kaan Erdogmus (14)). Dorian Rogozenco presents selected examples from the tournament for each topic.
