The Chess Mind

By Dennis Monokroussos.
This is a blog for chess fans by a chess fan, one who loves the beauty of the game and wants to share it with those who are like-minded.
Yet the chess mind is not only a chess mind, and other topics, such as philosophy, may appear from time to time. All material copyrighted.
Live Linares Commentary, featuring your humble blogger
Why wait for my post-round recap, when you can watch my commentary live? You can do just that tomorrow (and possibly for all the rounds of Linares) by logging on to the Playchess.com server, entering the Broadcast room during the round (which starts at 9:30 a.m. ET/3:30 p.m. Central European Time), and finding my broadcast. (Look for "Live Broadcast" in the games tab, with my name in the slots for the White and/or Black players.) It'll run you 10 ducats (approx. 1 euro/$1.50) for 24 hours (that's good whether you're on the whole time or not - if you get disconnected, need to eat lunch, etc., you can come back without getting hit up for ducats a second time), but even chess players need to eat.

So support this operation, check out some great games, and hopefully learn a thing or two in the process! Hope to see you there!

So sorry I had to work and missed your show today. Unfortunately, I will only be around to watch the games on Saturday. I will definitely pay my 10 ducats to watch and listen to your analysis. I, and all who watch your show on Wednesday nights, know how great you are. I hope all the regulars will spread the word, so the Europeans who don't stay up to 3 am can find out how great you are. Then they'll all run to watch your shows in the archives. :)

Thanks, Inky, it's very nice of you to say that. A little too nice, probably, but I do hope the Europeans will check it out. See you Saturday, and everyone else then and tomorrow too!
