Asian Nations Chess Cup 2012 – Complete Lineups

Only few days after the Asian Continental Individual Championships concluded in Vietnam, all top players moved to Zao Zhuang, Shandong Province, China, to compete in the 2012 Asian Nations Chess Cup (Open and Women’s).

The competitions are taking place from 15th to 27th May over nine rounds of Swiss in Open Group and over nine rounds all-play-all in Women’s. All FIDE Affiliated Chess Federations in Asia are eligible to participate.

China is top seeded in both groups, but India, with the Asian champion Parimarjan Negi in the roster, is also very ambitious.

The Asian Women Champion Irine Kharisma Sukandar is heading the Indonesian side.

The winning teams will represent the continent of Asia in the 2013 World (Women’s) Team Championship.
