Wouldn’t be funny if Karpov wins it? 🙂
Why miss legends like Karpov and Ivanchuk out from the title list?
They definitely make the event more interesting than just prodigies.
By prodigies I should have said teenage stars- given that they are well established players now.
Is this rapid?
i’m really glad to see caruana going onto carlsen territory … and all these kids going in front of the big mountains –
great tournament
Nakamura should do well at 25 min + 10 seconds increment but I would prefer to see him in Blitz tournament with the Big Guns.
I’m looking forward to seeing Kosteniuk play again. I hope she’s not too out of shape, chesswise…
