As if all that competitive chess goodness was not enough, players and fans were able to enjoy masterclasses or lectures, given by Vassily Ivanchuk, Gata Kamsky, and Le Quang Liem. This in itself is far from unusual, as it provides a chance to see a top player analyzing up close a moment of his choosing with ample introspection.
What makes this special is that the organizers not only filmed each and every one of these lectures, ranging from 35 minutes to one hour and ten minutes, but they shared them with the public.
