Chess Queen Kosteniuk beats Levon Aronian
Great Eye Contact between the Players
Hi everyone!
Our Chess Blog www.chessblog.com is pleased to present one more YouTube chess video for you: the blitz game between Grandmasters Alexandra Kosteniuk and Levon Aronian from the 2009 World Blitz Chess Championship.
I'm sure many of you will appreciate the great eye contact between the two players at the end of the game. We often get comments of people who watch a chess video and then complain that after a game ends (or also at the beginning of the game), the players often do not look at each other during the traditional handshake. This is actually normal, before the game, both players are quite nervous and are already thinking of their upcoming strategy, and at the end, if one of the players lose, he/she is likely to be upset with himself/herself, and may "forget" to look at his opponent during the handshake. It's a credit to Levon Aronian that he gave a very kind handshake with eye contact to Alexandra, after the game ended in her favor. See it for yourself directly in YouTube, in resolutions up to full 1080p.
We also hope some of you will support our work by buying Alexandra's DVD, she will be most grateful to you if you do!
The full game with a detailed introduction and an explanation of all the thinking processes is on Alexandra's DVD "Chess Blitz Fever", available on Chess Queen's Chess Shop.

Got to play the team league this weekend. Spending the whole week preparing with your video. One of the best learning videos I found recently. Usually I get bored with videos and books. But this one - watched it twice already. Superb work Alexandra.
