Spokesperson: Dear Media friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening! Welcome to today’s press conference! It’s our honor to invite the two famous chess masters. They are Mr. Topalov and Mr. Radjabov.

　　Spokesperson: Now the games haven’t all ended. Let’s introduce the result of the ended game. As black, Topalov won Jakovenko. As white, Radjabov drew with Wang Yue, Leko drew with Carlson.

　　Spokesperson: Today is the second round competition. I want to ask the two masters’ feeling about the chess just ended after one day’s holiday?

　　Topalov: My first round is hard and difficult, I’m cheerful for one day free and I adjusted myself well to get ready for the second round.

　　Radjabov: My first round is not good, many pieces brought with chances. For example the chess to Topalov and Jakovenko, I made large errors. Or it would be acuter. So was to Carlson. If I was more solid, he would make more efforts to win! Oppositely, I lost it. I think I have no word to the first round, so I should try my best to face the second round, go steadier, and go more defenses.

　　Spokesperson: Thanks for the two masters, now leave time to our journalists, you can hand up to attention me!

　　Journalist: I would like to ask the two players, in the first round, Carlson is outstanding. So in the second round, have you prepared some special tactics? Thank you.

　　Topalov: It depends on how he will design his board and now I can not say anything, because tomorrow I should fight against Carlsen, and maybe after the game tomorrow I can give you some of my thoughts.

　　Radjabov: I think Carlsen performed particularly well, partly because he was well prepared .In the first round , you can see that he had new ideas, strategies, and changes in every rounds, which impressed me very much. He played particularly well and does not require me to have any particular comment, others may be unexpected to see such a result, but I think the top five players in the world are likely to have such good achievements. However, it also needs some objective factors, such as the status of your good, your opponents play poorly, or some other good objective factors. For example, Ivanhoe in Sofia competition had five successive wins getting five points. On the other hand, he is indeed a very powerful player. He is young and has his ideas of playing chess there, so for him nothing is impossible, I have no other special preparation about him. I will try my best to make good preparation for every competition.

　　Journalists: I want you two masters to talk about the preparation of strategies. Because according to today’s competitions, your opponents’ choices may be unexpected.

　　Topalov: Yes, I had not thought that my opponent might make this change today.

　　Radjabov: I wanted to use the strategy that was used for Svidler in 2006. But my opponent changed it into another board which I didn’t prepare before. I planned to take ND5, But my opponent took E6 very fast. I thought it was the strategy for me in purpose, so I made some changes and used bishop capturing F6, making it become a draw. I had not realized that he would Queen’s Gambit. So I think it’s a good choice to make a draw occasionally.
