Teimour Radjabov Evaluating Bazna Kings

Interview for news portal Day.az

"Let's not forget who were my opponents. Vassily Ivanchuk - winner of countless supertournaments; Alexei Shirov - a convincing winner of the recent Grand Slam in Sofia; Boris Gelfand - winner of the World Rapid Cup 2009; American Grandmaster Gata Kamsky - who recently played a World Championship challenger match with Veselin Topalov; finally, the most experienced Romanian player Liviu-Dieter Nisipianu, European chess champion in 2005."
