Biel Rd.4: postgame analysis of the players
7/23/2011 – Once again we are able to present you a unique insight into the workings of
the top chess minds. After the rounds the players – at least those who
are not too upset – joined the official match commentator, GM Miso Cebalo,
for live analysis for a world-wide audience on the Playchess
server. These sessions, together with PGN files of the game analyses, are
available on our special postgame reports.

The
2011 Biel Chess Festival is taking place from July 16 to 29, in a number of
groups: the Master Tournament (eleven rounds Swiss); the Main Tournament (nine
rounds Swiss); a Rapid and a Blitz tournament; Chess960; Youth, Simultaneous,
Chess Tennis, ChessBase training seminars. Of greatest interest is of course
the Accentus Grandmaster Tournament with six very strong grandmasters playing
a double round robin: Magnus Carlsen, Maxime
The participants: Caruana, Pelletier, Shirov, Carlsen, Morozevich, Vachier-Lagrave
The rate of play: 2 hours for 40 moves, then one hour for 20 and 15 min for the rest of the game, with 30 sec increment per move. The scoring system is three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. No draw offers are permitted before move 30.

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. All this is available to a world-wide audience on Playchess and with a normal Internet browser on our special Chesslive broadcast page. At the end of the report you will find a PGN file to download and analyse yourself, assisted by your favourite chess engine.
