http://www.chessclub.com/broadcast ICC's commentary, Joel Benjamin and John Fedorovicz. Probably the highest-level commentary you'll find. I was looking forward to Polgar, but the entire commentary on the main stream has been pretty meh. | ||

EDIT: Nevermind, it's not passed. But the 3-1 majority will make it so eventually. | ||

Seems like the only compensation for the pawn is that he managed to soften e6-square and opened d7 for his Rook. It's not like he has to do this immediately, but if he doesn't use these positional gains on time, the material Magnus has in pocket can quickly make him pay (after all, the a-pawn is protected from behind already).

Describe there strategies, not guess the next 6 moves I agree some commentators tend to get lost in lines, but you need to look at lines or it's not real commentary at all. It's very easy to say 'white would like to get pressure on the c7 pawn going', but that's essentially useless if you don't investigate whether or not that's possible in this exact position. Chess is a very concrete game, general strategic goals need to be backed up by actual calculation to check whether they're attainable. | ||
