5th Chess Grand Prix in Beijing from July 3-17
12th Women's World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk's Chess Blog for Latest Chess News and Trivia (c) 2013
Hi everyone,
Beijing, is the site for the fifth leg of the FIDE Grand Prix series. Many of the players have had the opportunity of playing in Beijing in the Sport Accord World Mind Games and therefore will have had some experience of this very busy, metropolitan city. Nevertheless, with such a long history and tradition behind it, Beijing offers so many places to visit and things to do.
The players' list in Beijing is impressive with former World Champion Veselin Topalov trying to repeat his performance in Zug, Switzerland earlier this year and clinching one of the two places for the forthcoming Candidates tournament in 2014.
He will be challenged by several world class players. Boris Gelfand, coming hot from his recent epic victory in Moscow Tal Memorial will be one of the prime challengers as will be Shakriyar Mamedyarov who has had a very good month of June starting with winning the World Rapid Championship in Khanty Mansiysk. Also not to forget world top-ten players such as Sergey Karjakin, Alexander Grischuk as well as former Candidates players Vasily Ivanchuk and Peter Leko.
Like all other Grand Prix the impressive line up means that round after round, we will witness the world's top players offering us some exciting chess at the highest level possible. Stay tuned for all the live coverage at the official website.
