"The membership fee is extremely reasonable, considering that it gives you a year's unlimited playing time... plus access to lectures, interviews and coverage of major events." — Sarah Hurst, Chess on the Web
Wow. Sensation day 2 in dortmund. In today's round
seven the unlucky person Vishy Anand was able to claim
a win over Bologan.
The other games were drawn today - even the game
Najditch-Kramnik.
Maybe Anand will stop Bologan the tiger !
Due to my wife's birthday, I couldn't go to Dortmund
today to take pictures for you out there. Sorry.
Instead I collected some pictures during the past
rounds to introduce the player's family members to
you:
On the first picture you can see Margarita Bologan
(left) and Sofia Leko, who are discussing non-chess
topics (I am sure;)
In the press center you can always find Aruna Anand
reading a book. To the very right you see tournament
director Koth who took the chance to play a game of
Blitz against a friend.
Arriving in the playing hall: Arshak Petrosyan, Leko's
trainer and father-in-law, plus: Sofia and Peter Leko.
Also arriving every day in Dortmund to see the son
play: Father and mother Radjabov
Not really a family member - but responsible for the
next world championship fight: the manager of Leko and
Kramnik: Carsten Hensel
