Seeking the Endgame
« on: Sep 16th, 2010, 4:04pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I came across this interesting documentary the BBC is doing about Chess. Be sure to listen to the audio stream.
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2010/09/100909_seeking_t he_endgame_one.shtml
 
In the first part of the series they are talking a lot about the impact computer technology has had on Chess. They interviewed David Levy and I was hoping to hear him mention Arimaa Smiley

Nice problem.  Not difficult, but still took me awhile to find the right move.

I'm watching; thanks for the link.  Do you know who the live commentators are?  They are making it pretty interesting.

Maybe Nigel Short and Almira Skripchenko?

I'm also watching, but as soon as I start understanding something about the position they move on to the next game Tongue

I wonder what kind of endgame the commentators will have after the games considering how well they get along... Roll Eyes
 
I forgot the video totally after Fritzlein's feedback on my tutorial. I didn't see the endings of openings and middle play which interests me most. Sniff.

This guy seems to have a lot of interesting commentary on different games, for example Fischer's. I particularly like how he uses graphical markings to help visualize how pieces fit to the current piece structure.
