Peter Svidler
Chess24 collaborator Peter Svidler is one of the greatest talents in the world of chess. It was once described by Mark Glukhovsky, editor of the Russian magazine "64", as an exception he could cope with his talent in a world of ultra-competitive and hardworking masters.
He won the last USSR Youth Championship in 1991, and in the Under-18 World Championship in 1994, but he really made a name by winning the senior Russian Championship that same year with 18 years. So far he has won that event no less than 7 times, the last in 2013, followed by what is probably the biggest success of his career to date, the Kanty-Mansiysk World Cup (2011). That gave him a place in the next qualifying tournament for the 2013 World Championship, where he finished third after a final victory over Carlsen.
Peter Svidler on Nakamura - Giri
great, enjoyed that thanks, nakamura can be fun to watch with his out of the box moves like Qb4.
A half of a tempo... said Peter..
haha half a tempo that's pretty funny. nakamura can be risky and sloppy(for a top player) but he has many more moments of genius that are fun to watch.
I think Chess is highly underrated.
totally agree..
