Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011


Hi everyone,


The Carlsen roller coaster rushes on at the 2011 Accentus Biel Masters with Alexei Shirov losing to the World No. 1 in the seventh round. Also, Alexander Morozevich beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Yannick Pelletier lost to Fabiano Caruana. 


For those who came in late, the 2011 Biel Chess Festival is taking place from July 16 to 29, in a number of groups: the Master Tournament (eleven rounds Swiss); the Main Tournament (nine rounds Swiss); a Rapid and a Blitz tournament; Chess960; Youth etc. The main event is the Accentus Grandmaster Tournament with six very strong grandmasters playing a double round robin: Magnus Carlsen, Maximee Vachier-Lagrave, Alexei Shirov, Fabiano Caruana, Alexander Morozevich and Yannick Pelletier.
