Photo of Gelfand ...

... with the same facial expression my one-year-old niece favours just after she's filled her nappy.



This picture is part of a fantastic collection of photos taken at Wijk aan Zee recently, as published on the ChessBase website.

What is it with these candles?

My favourite. There seems to be a lot of pathos in it: a youthful, otherworldly fascination with chess captivating once more Timman's fattening, aging face, perhaps looking out-of-date as the young video guy behind him attends to new stars.

A good collection but this is my favourite footage from Wijk Aan Zee. The big guy's Leontxo GarcĂ­a: you reckon he was tipped off?
