Starting today and proceeding for the next several days the game of the day will be a bit different.
These games are taken from the Gelfand-Svidler rapid match at the 2nd Gedeon Japhet tournament from 2014.
What makes them different is that the players gave in depth interviews about each game. So I will give not only the games, but the YouTube videos of the interviews as well!

Yesterday at the Czech Open in Pardubice Tom Polgar-Shutzman managed a nice win over Russian GM Semen Dvoirys!
As you may have guessed by the name, Tom is a part of the famous Polgar family. He is Susan’s son.
I met Tom earlier this year at the USATN where I roomed with him. He was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
During the few days that we hung out we talked a lot about chess and goals and he made it clear to me that his goal was to ensure that the Polgar family gained another GM.
So far he’s having a nice tournament with a 2453 performance rating going 3.5-2.5 through the first six rounds.
Here’s his game against Dvoirys.
Tomorrow he plays Ukrainian FM Yevgeniy Roshka. I’ll keep an eye on the last three rounds and you should too!
