5/16/2012 – Today, GM Daniel King did a private broadcast on the action until now, and more specifically commented on the lack of action many have been grumbling about. To further spice up the show, he read the comments by Steve Giddins on computers and chess, and had something to say about that as well. Still, it is not just a talk show, and he compares Anand to ... Petrosian!

Second rest day
You might think that an official rest day meant no chess-related material, but GM Daniel King made a private broadcast with a summary on the action until now, and more specifically commented on the lack of action many have been grumbling about.
To further spice up the video, he read the comments by Steve Giddins on computers and chess, and had something to say about that as well. Still, it is not just a talk show, and in his ever-popular style, he draws a parallel between Anand and... Petrosian! Surprised? See the video and judge for yourself.
