    Hi Marcus,

    Thank you for posting this information on our site. Mark is an awesome guy and this will be a treat!

    I see that this is your first post here. I hope you will provide us with a summary of the lecture and that you will participate on Chesstalk regularly as we do not appreciate advertising only posts from contributors :)

    I trust we understand each other :)

            Review of GM Mark Bluvshtein's lecture

            On February 28, GM Mark Bluvshtein delivered a chess lecture at the Annex Chess Club in downtown Toronto. He analyzed two games – M. Bluvshtein-I. Ivanisevic, 2011 Tata Steel (13); and K. Nikolaidis-M. Bluvshtein, 2010 Corsica Masters (5) – and shared compelling insights into grandmaster chess play.

            See the full review on the ACC site.
