Chess
NEW DELHI: Grandmaster K. Sasikiran heads the seven-man Indian brigade in the World Cup chess beginning at Khanty Mansiysk, Russia, on November 21. For the first time, the 128-player knockout tournament features so many Indians. As per the draw released by FIDE, Sasikiran opens his campaign against Erwin LAmi (Netherlands). Each round consists of two classical games with the players getting to play with white pieces once. In case of equal scores the winner is decided by rapid games or, if needed, blitz games. National champion Surya Shekhar Ganguly also plays a lesser-rated rival, having drawn Uzbekistan’s Anton Filipov in the opener. First-round pairings involving Indians: K. Sasikiran (2664) Erwin LAmi (Ned, 2606); Surya Shekhar Ganguly (2654) Anton Filipov (Uzb, 2607); Sandipan Chanda (2623) Mikhail Kobalia (Rus, 2643); Parimarjan Negi (2620) Vadim Milov (Sui, 2652); Abhijeet Gupta (2578) Alexie Shirov (Esp, 2719); Sriram Jha (2497) Alexander Grischuk (Rus, 2736).
