Great video, Jan and Peter. By the way, the study is not correct, there is a 3...Nc4+!! that gives Black a draw. Was then Mitrofanov wrong? Not at all. The initial position is wrong, because in the original there is a white pawn on h5. That pawn makes Peter's study and solution correct!
Peter's Zaitsev answer is perfect for those of us on a poor to mid level. Just tell me what I should roughly be aiming for, and I'll have a go. A lot of beginner problems is they/we have learned the opening moved, but nobody ever talks about the ideas behind those moves. Unless someone can recommend a basic "ideas behind the main openings" book/site?
Its pretty cool they were doing the commentary all day - then take the time out to answer 2hrs+ of quezzies. Top pros, you wouldn't get footballers doing this!
+Trond-Arne Ausdal One of the questions Svidler was asked was; what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? It appears to be a Monthy Python reference.
Jan and Peter - best combination in chess!
You both are great people, as well as outstanding players.
+Camille Saint-Saëns Well said, and agreed!
Wow; high quality entertainment, with nuggets of knowledge; and on the Interwebs. Who knew ? Chess 24 Rocks.
Thanks for the insights and the very enjoyable talk! Good luck in the candidates Mr. Svidler! I hope you make it!
Pure gold, thanks a lot for your answers!

Is Jan any relation to the late great British comic actor Kenneth Williams?

BTW you should answer non-premium member questions, but only if you limit the answer to a single word :)
Only yes and no questions. ...
Brilliant answer about cats and buttered toast - had me laughing out loud.
The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow would depend on whether it's a European or an African swallow. These are things a king should know..
Peter's walk-on music should be Checkmate by Cypress Hill.
Svidler genuine guy
If you can learn enough chess and can improve, having a training camp with another top player is worth many opening ideas.
What was lawrence trent tweet that they were talking about at 10-11min mark?

Is Jan's cough contagious to Peter?

Svidler doesn't sound so Russian, why is that?
listen to him saying "fact"
or "need"

why you don't answer questions from some viewers with multiple posts (same person)?
But you answered all 5 questions in 1 post, what's the difference?
1:59:03 is that a hearthstone reference?
Lol no
Yes it is. Peter plays hearthstone
ty
Nice
What is the last thing Peter says? Something swallow? I can't hear what he says
+Trond-Arne Ausdal He was asking: what exactly is an unladen swallow?
Thanks :-)
Still dont get it, though. Doesn't make sense. What does it mean?

+Marit Ombudstvedt Thanks. I googled it it came to this : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unladen_Swallow

1:40 "Lowered expectations"! Great reference. I'm surprised that Jan would be familiar with MadTV. ua-cam.com/video/7gt4StirOzc/v-deo.html
Peter is incredibly cute lol
101
1:42:20 what the fuck was that Peter?
I dont like Jan, his voice to artificial, Peter on the other hand is 100% himself and very much more enjoyable to watch.
