Early Upsets at the European Championship
Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 1:31AM
The European Championship is a long event (11 rounds) with lots of players (348!), so early round upsets aren't the end of the world for the top seeds. It's a good thing for them, too, as the the first two rounds have seen even 2700s get upset. The biggest upset so far is Anish Giri's loss at the even younger hands of lllya Nyzhnyk, which you can replay here.
