7/20/2011 – It is sometimes referred to as a "post mortem" session: in Biel the
winning player, or the more satisfied one, sometimes both, will appear on the
stage to analyse with the resident GM. This analysis goes to the local audience,
but also via Playchess to chess fans
all over the world. You can follow these sessions live or in our special postgame
report, which includes
video captures.

During the games of the Biel Chess Festival there is live commentary –
by GM Miso Cebalo in German and GMs like Danny King, Jan Gustafsson or Jan Smeets
in English. After the games are over the players come to the stage where Cebalo
analyses the moves with them (in English). These are particularly interesting
sessions, since the proponents have everything still fresh in their minds, and
are in fact exploring, in real time, what happened just minutes ago.
In the following we provide you with videos of the analysis sessions as well
as the lines that were discussed, both on JavaScript replay boards. At the end
of the report you will find a PGN file to download and analyse yourself, assisted
by your favourite chess engine.
