Hi everyone,


Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik is turbo-charged in Dortmund, Germany and notched up his third win in four rounds by taking care (with Black) of Hikaru Nakamura. In the other games of Round 4, Anish Giri and Le Quang Liem drew their game while Ruslan Ponomariov and Georg Meier also drew their game. You can access the official website at this link. 

As you know, the 39th Sparkassen Chess-Meeting is taking place in Dortmund, Germany from July 21 to July 31. It is a six-player round robin tournament and a game can be declared a draw only by the arbiter or on three-fold repetition.
