Leuven Rapid & Blitz Starts Today (Friday)
Friday, June 17, 2016 at 12:37AM
Dennis Monokroussos in Grand Chess Tour, Leuven Rapid & Blitz

The schedule is here. This is a sort of companion piece to last week's Grand Chess Tour event in Paris (won by Hikaru Nakamura, with Magnus Carlsen a close second and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in third). The format is the same, and so are the players, except that Viswanathan Anand will participate rather than Laurent Fressinet. Play starts at 2 p.m. local time in Belgium (= 8 a.m. ET).
