Chess for the Ears
Because I know you want to hear more about this, and this time I do mean hear. Spanish GM Miguel Illescas, a longtime Kramnik team member who was in Elista for the entire match, will be a guest on the ICC radio show by Fred Wilson to talk about things behind the scenes from Kramnik's side. Not sure what he'll have to add unless he was in the toilet during the games.
From the ICC: The show runs from 8:00 to 10:00 PM (EST) every Tuesday evening. As always, there will be replays of the show almost immediately afterwards for our chess enthusiasts on the West Coast & elsewhere, and often there will be several replays the following day. You can access it at the following website: http://www.chess.fm, ONLY IF YOU ARE AN ICC MEMBER. However, if you visit chessclub.com you can sign up for a one week FREE trial membership, listen to the show that week, and access all the other good stuff on Chess.fm while you're at it!

Working on a WCC team must be like going to war. Wouldn't be surprising if they remain friends for life.

Posted by: Mig at November 7, 2006 18:47"Grandmasters Miguel Illescas and Francisco Vallejo talk to the spanish newspaper ABC about their job as analysts for Topalov and Kramnik in the Elista World Championship, a job in which the words “trade union” do not exist."
