The match of the year between World Champion Vishy Anand and his challenger Veselin Topalov went the full distance, i.e. 12 tournament games, and yet at the end the decision was quite unexpected and came much more quickly than one might have thought.

On the DVD of ChessBase Magazine 136 you will find all the games with extensive annotations. Other high points of the last weeks and months have been the European Championships for both men and women.

In those there were victories on the one hand for youthful creativity and on the other for experience and serenity. As for the Russian Team Championships we have their best games annotated by top players such as Pavel Eljanov and Fabiano Caruana.

And last but not least, Alexei Shirov shows you some of his latest brilliancies from the Bundesliga in video format.
