And below you will find new videos I created that came from the tournament. You can visit my page in youtube.com at http://www.youtube.com/user/kadsawy.

The first video is called memories of the tournament. You’ll understand why when you see it.

The second video takes place moments before the Awards ceremony. It shows people excited and some can’t wait to see who won what. Enjoy 🙂

The 3rd video is the prize dstribution for the top players of the tournament.

And the last is a video of the TOUCH MOVE SITUATION! Silao Accused Taha of touching the queen before the bishop (Tahe Moved the bishop).  Of course, this is considred cheating if it was true. But apparently, Silao didn’t have enough proof so the accusation was shot down and the went to Taha. Watch the commotion in this RAW VIDEO (unedited).
