Good chances

21/01/2006

Today the traditional chess super-championship is going to start in Veik An Zee city in Holland. This is a 19th – class competition. 19 masters are going to take part in this competition, whose average reputation mark is 2716. This competition is special for us, because Levon Aronyan is going to take part in it first. He is going to play with V. Topalov, V. Anand, P. Leko, V. Ivanchuk, B. Gelfand, E. Bakro, M. Adams, I. Sokolov, G. Kamski, S. Tiviakov, S. Kariakin, L.V. Velii and Sh. Mamediarov. Citizen of Azerbaijan Mamediarov was invited to this competition late instead of Kramnik. These names of chess masters speak for themselves, but anyhow Aronyan’s chances are good too.
