Dortmund, Starting Now!
Friday, July 13, 2012 at 9:50AM
One of the annual super-tournaments, the favorite one of 10-time winner Vladimir Kramnik, is the Dortmund Sparkassen. This event just got underway, with the following first round pairings:
- Sergey Karjakin (2779) - Vladimir Kramnik (2799)
- Fabiano Caruana (2775) - Arkadij Naiditsch (2700)
- Peter Leko (2730) - Ruslan Ponomariov (2726)
- Georg Meier (2644) - Mateusz Bartel (2674)
- Daniel Fridman (2655) - Jan Gustafsson (2629)
The games will be available on all the usual haunts, and the live transmission is here.
Predictions (for tournament victory)? I'll give a half prediction and say that if you pretend Karjakin-Kramnik is an Armageddon game, you'll have your answer (i.e. if Karjakin wins the game, he'll win the tournament; otherwise, Kramnik will).
