The main sponsor of the match Kramnik – Aronian and the Russian businessman Oleg Skvortsov does not plan a passive participation in the event. Skvortsov will play classical time limit games against both leading heroes of the event: Kramnik and Aronian (on the free days scheduled during the match). The Russian businessman plans meetings against the Swiss grandmaster Yannick Pelletier and the guest of honour Viktor Korchnoi.

Oleg Skvortsov was seriously engaged in chess some time ago. According to Skvortsov, he prepared seriously for the forthcoming battles and even used a grandmaster to help him.
