Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hello everyone,
If you think just because the score line reads 'draw' the Candidates Chess Matches must be dull then you could take a look at the games. In the semifinals of the matches, both Gata Kamsky-Boris Gelfand and Alexander Grischuk-Vladimir Kramnik games were draws. Here are the nice games. You can access the official website here.
From May 3 to 27, 2011 the FIDE Candidates matches are being held in Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, with eight strong GMs competing to qualify as Challenger for the 2012 World Champion match. Time controls in the four regular games are 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for the next 20 moves and then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, plus an additional 30 seconds per move starting from move 61. In case of a tie there will be four rapid chess games, and if the tie is still not broken then up to five two-game blitz matches 5'+3". Finally there may be a sudden-death final decider. The prize fund of the candidates is 500,000 Euros.
