Senior chess - hmmm looking forward to the senior world championship in croatia in nov i think. thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice video but too much speeches i didnt get :( please give more videos from the event. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like all the chess videos on Chess Blog here. In fact Chess Blog pick of videos is nice but for this one. I mean this is also nice but too much formal speeches and opening ceremony guess it could not be avoided. I liked the bit where they showed all the senior players. Chess is so romantic at any age.
