Hi Hugh,

Looks like the DGT live broadcast is down for Round 2. I wonder if the organisers know that its not working?

[Hugh Brodie]

Round 2srarted at 1 pm MDT or 3 pm EDT. It's working now.

Its nice to see GM Shirov's games. They are always an art form. His first game ended in potential zugzwang.

[Hans Jung]

Rd 2 GM Komarov has an entertaining finish. After a closed opening Black targets the semi open F file to deliver checkmate. White defended against one checkmate but allowed the pretty Qxf2+. It would have been nice to see Bd1 as Whites last move. Then Qf3+, Bxf3, exf3 would have been a pawn checkmate.

GM Gupta showed inspired pawn play to wreak havoc on his opponents position.

Rd 3 GM Shirov a miniature as Black against an IM. 21...Bxd3+ crashes through.

[Hans Jung]

Enjoying the GM's tactics.

Broadcast not working on my end, anyone else having luck with this?

[John Coleman]

Not working for me either

[Hugh Brodie]

It's working OK for me. Try reloading the page or refreshing the screen if you see a board with large DGT letters in the middle.

Rd 4 GM Shirov another lovely positional game. At the end Black is all tied up.

[Hans Jung]

Rd 5 Battle of the leaders Nyzhnyk - Shirov What a game!

[Hans Jung]

Thanks to the organizers for adding more games on the DGT.

[Hans Jung]

Rd 5 Examples of Gupta's sparkling pawn play are 28.b3 and 32.exd6 breakthrough.

I also enjoyed Leon Piasetskis game and Gary Ng and Dale Haessel's games as well.

Such a shame that Shirov did not win that Queen ending. It was a Master Class of how to win it until he blundered with b3 with not much time left. Exciting games and great to see so many games. Well done organizers!
