World Gross Masters Gather for Chest Tournament in Sofia
2737.3 is the average ELO coefficient of the 6 participants of the 4th chest tournament ‘Mtel Masters’, which starts in Sofia.
The Bulgarian capital gathers the chest elite as 4 of the competitors are among the TOP 11 of FIDE ranglist – Levon Aronian (Armenia), Teimour Radjabov (Azerbaijan) and Vasiliy Ivanchuk (Ukraine), who just an year ago was 2nd in the world.
Two Bulgarians will also take part in the tournament, the world famous Veselin Topalov and his secondary Ivan Cheparinov.
The Chinese Bu Siyandji also will take part in the competition.
‘Mtel Masters’ is part of the chain ‘Grand Slam’. For the first time the chest parties will be played in a 10 tones ‘aquarium’, intended to isolate the noise in the hall.

“Gross” I can sort of understand — “grand” (auf Deutsche) but the White queen on the wrong square is just silly.
Well, at least a “chest” tournament would have no trouble gaining publicity. 🙂
I don’t see anything wrong.

Heiner Marxen’s program CHEST stands for “CHESs problem analysT”, and could be used for a computer-aided solving tournament.
But encouraging such use of computers might be gross :-).
I like the error very much and think it is made ON PURPOSE. Can prove you otherwise?
A chest tournament in Sophia.
Well, I hope Sophia doesn’t mind hundreds of people competing on her chest! She is going to need a few aspirin or at least a good cigarette after the events.
Be still my dirty mind…(.)(.)
in the picture the white king and the white queen are in wrong squares…

Oh yes, blame the computer.
Chest tournaments would be popular events in the USA. One could even argue for wet chest tournaments.
Victoria Secrets can be the sponsor as well as Budweiser and Fruit of the Loom.
We already have “Chest tournaments” in the US. We call them “Wet T-Shirt contests”.
