Carlsen will have white in game 2!
I will be doing LIVE interactive commentary for the Carlsen – Anand World Championship match on www.facebook.com/polgarchess, www.twitter.com/susanpolgar and right here on this blog. I will also be asking many of my Indian colleagues and fellow GMs to share their opinions about this match.
Games start at 3 pm (Sochi time / 7 am NY time / 6 am St Louis time) each day!
In addition, my co-commentator for the first Anand – Carlsen WC match in Chennai, GM Ramesh RB and I will be doing LIVE commentary on Internet Chess Club (ICC) for critical game 10 and 11.
I have known Anand for nearly 3 decades, all the way back to our junior playing days. I also know Carlsen very well. I will try to offer very unique angles on the match, on top of the game analysis.
This will be an interactive commentary as you can ask questions or chime in. Hope you can join me for this exciting match.
