@Jkaen:
Sorry, but that move loses a piece on the spot. Try to take a closer look at the position.

White is threatening Bxb6 axb6 Rxa4 so we have to do something about this situation, and unfortunately I can't get Nc4 to work because Rxa4 Nb2 Bb5 gets out of the fork

there's always the ugly Ra8 I suppose to defend the bishop after axb6, but I like white better after Re1 despite black's extra pwan...

@uberfish:

That's correct. thumbsup The only move that holds is the ugly Ra8, all other moves lead to a lost position.

Where's a good place to follow it? (For people who aren't chess prodigies.)
If you know what I mean.

From what I understand, the official site features Susan Polgar and Lawrence Trent as commentators, which is probably as beginner friendly as you will find. I don't know the two other commentators though.

The official stream is not running that smoothly for me, maybe too many people are watching? This must be a huge deal in India. Anyway, I switched to Daniel King's commentary on the Playchess server.

At least on the weekends I think the timezone difference is quite comfortable for Europeans. nod

How difficult is it to stream chess moves, really... ?

Is the commentary on playchess free? I don't want to subscribe to their service
