see the video titled "shirov & van wely," at 0:45, and 2:30, shirov clearly makes an expression like "hey, this thing is not working, I'm not getting the signal!"

I always knew there was something fishy about him. 🙂

the video is still there.

By the way, I was joking when I posted this, but the more I look at it, the more it feels like he really communicates with someone about the position, especially when you see the footage a little longer around 2:30, and it wasn't during the opening either.

anyone? am I getting crazy?

Would you please care to explain to me then, why he looks at a certain place, then at the board, then back at that certain place and shakes his head slightly in a worried & serious manner?

It just occurred to me it could be a 2D demonstration board nearby.

I believe they're all just looking at the photographers & camera people

If that's the case, he is so deeply immersed in the position that he doesn't realize he makes an expression to someone who he doesn't know by looking back and forth at him/her & the board. 😕

Probably a mistake on the demo board.Or just nothing

On another note,I've always thought Ivanchuk is a pothead.He always looks out of this world.As if he doesn't fully realise what's going on around him.
Again so in this video.Or is that just me?
