Published: Nov. 20, 2018, 7:53 p.m.

b'On a rest day (after Game 8) for the World Championship in London, friends of the podcast (and previous guests)\\xa0IMs Eric Rosen and Kostya Kavutskiy were nice enough to take some time and give Perpetual listeners a taste of what its like to be attending, reporting, and photographing the dramatic, ongoing World Chess Championship between GMs Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. This episode is meant to have more of a "breaking news" feeling than your typical Perpetual Chess interview, so it\'s a shorter interview, but we covered a lot of ground.\\xa0To wit: What was the mood like at the venue in Game 8 as Fabiano Caruana missed his best chance for a win over Magnus Carlsen? What openings might we see in the remaining games?\\xa0Is there a clear rooting interest among the people attending the match? Does either player have more vocal fans? What are the conditions like for spectators? What about for photographers like Eric Rosen and his colleagues?\\xa0IM Kostya Kavutskiy has done some\\xa0great write-ups and game analysis\\xa0for US Chess for the games that he has attended, while Eric Rosen has taken over the US Chess\\xa0twitter account\\xa0in addition to taking great photos like\\xa0this one,.\\xa0You can keep up with their great content in the following places:\\xa0Kostya Kavutskiy\'s\\xa0twitter account, Kostya\'s\\xa0Youtube Channel Eric Rosen\'s\\xa0twitter account\\xa0and Eric\'s\\xa0Youtube Channel To support the podcast please go here: \\nBen Johnson is creating Perpetual Chess Podcast | Patreon\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
