Daniel King analyses

9/25/2015 – In his video analysis of the highlights of round 5.2 in Baku GM Daniel King had four games to choose from. The quick draw between Karjakin and Mamedyarov did not offer much excitement and neither did the draw between Wei Yi and Svidler. Thus King had a short look at Eljanov's draw against Nakamura and a longer one at Giri's win against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.
