The World Championship match between champion Viswanathan Anand and challenger Boris Gelfand began today, with a rather short (24-move) draw. Gelfand appeared to have slightly the upper hand, but as GM Sergei Shipov said, “he considered a draw from a position of strength to be a good outcome. That’s his right.”<\/p>\n

For people who enjoyed following Shipov’s commentaries to the 2010 World Championship match between Anand and Topalov, I’m glad to announce that I will again be translating some of his commentaries here. I have agreed with Colin McGourty, who runs the site www.chessintranslation.com<\/a>, to split the games, with six of the translations appearing here and six at his site. Here is the schedule that we have agreed on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Round<\/td>\nDate<\/td>\nTranslation to appear at:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

7-12<\/td>\n<\/td>\nTo be determined<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As always, Shipov’s commentaries in the original Russian will appear at Crestbook<\/a>. I hope you will agree that they are among the wittiest and most insightful world championship commentaries on the Internet.<\/p>\n

Because I live eleven time zones behind Moscow, where the match is being played, I will not attempt to translate the games live. (I would have to get up at 3:30 AM!) However, I will try to post the translations within a couple hours after the completion of the games, and definitely on the same day.<\/p>\n

I look forward to welcoming you back here on Tuesday for the fourth game of the match!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
