any idea how to get the audio commentary working on playchess free client? I have wmp9 and even installed the new free client as instructed, but not a sound. there's not even a 'chessmedia' pane visible (which btw works fine in cb reader, so wmp9 can't be the problem?).

I can't hear it either. I assume you need to pay ducats for it.

10 ducats per day to hear Yasser (well worth it in my book).

I decided to go ahead and create an account at Playchess (so far I had only logged in as a guest) in order to be able to get ducats. I had hoped that would enable me to hear the commentary already today (as I have time today), but apparently it takes about a day to get the ducats. 🙁 The only way to get them at once is via Click&Buy, and they don't let you register there if you don't have a cell phone. Darn.

yea, I was a bit disappointed by that. the svidler - pono game looks interesting, and surprisingly the kramnik - navara as well. the topo game looks like a tal game, and he's used only a half an hour at move 29. the guy is just crazy. 🙂

Check out Kramnik vs Navara, Black played 15 ... O-O, followed by 16 ... Rfd8, 17 ... Kf8 and 18 ... Ke8. What's all that about?

that's weird indeed. I'm guessing he needs the rook on d-file, but still wants to pawn storm?
