In the free day during the 2nd Gashimov Memorial Shamkir Chess 2015, lets see a selection of games which demonstrate the exquisite style of Vugar Gashimov, for which he was considered to be one of the most talented chess players of recent times.

Selection made by GM Alexander Delchev.

GM Alexander Delchev: Gashimov was a genius - he had an amazing positional understanding and foresight. It is quite sad that he died so young and at his peak. His play was dangerous - he could have successfully challenged Anand, Caruana, Carlsen, Topalov, Aronian, Nakamura...

Commentaries by GM Alexander Delchev

Round 9 (LIVE): Radjabov-Carlsen (½-½)
In the first stage Radjabov defeated Carlsen as black in his speciality - King Indian defence - Now it is time for a revenge. I expect from Radjabov a very solid approach - normal for him when he has white... see game with commentary

Round 7: Nakamura-Carlsen (0-1)
I think in this game Carlsen had perfect position after the opening and only in the deep endgame he failed to bring home the deserved point. What improvement does Nakamura have in mind?... see game with commentary

Round 3: Karjakin-Carlsen (½-½)
Lucky outcome for Karjakin who was in a very bad position for the most of the game. Not typical for Carlsen who is missing very rarely such occasions... see game with commentary

Round 1: Carlsen-Mamedyarov (1-0)
Mamedyarov lost twice in Ragozin defence in Candidates 2014 against Anand and Aronian. Now he chooses Cambridge Springs - in Queen gambit Declined - known for its solid reputation... see game with commentary
