"The membership fee is extremely reasonable, considering that it gives you a year's unlimited playing time... plus access to lectures, interviews and coverage of major events." — Sarah Hurst, Chess on the Web
Rest dayby Chriss Lass
Day 5.5 in Dortmund. Today is a rest day for the
grandmasters. However 60 amateur players had the
chance to play once in their life against a chess
legend. The time control of the blitz games was 2
minutes for the GMs and 5 minutes for the guest. So
enjoy the pictures and click back tomorrow for my
regular report from Dortmund with a special guest.
BTW: If you take a close look at the picture with
Radjabov you can see him playing with Yuri Rouvinski.
Chess.FM fans know that he is sometimes commenting
together with me live out of our "German booth". Yuri
lost the game with a smile: "My position was too
passive." Both players Radjabov and Yuri are born in
the same city: In Baku, Azerbaijan. Chess trivia
time. Do you know another popular chess player who was
born in Baku? ;)
