I have been in London at the Classic for a week now. Hiarcs Chess Explorer, Mark and I are running the commentary in the VIP room along with GMs Julian Hodgson, Nigel Short, Jon Speelman, Jon Nunn and many others.

Last Saturday Intel came to chat with Mark Uniacke and Vishy. This is the article they have published:

Today Hiarcs announced mate in 196 although it was a fail high and would probably find a shorter mate it caused a lot of interest in the VIP room!
