Our friends from ChessBase just reported that Kramnik has fallen ill and he may miss Dortmund.

When asked about his participation in the Super-GM tournament in Dortmund Kramnik’s manager informed us that the situation was unclear. In his current condition playing serious chess games was out of the question. However a recovery in time for the start of the tournament on Saturday is still in the books. The next 48 hours will bring clarity. Kramnik will have to miss the press conference on Thursday and would, health permitting, arrive in Dortmund on Friday, in time for round one on Saturday at 3 p.m.

Stay tune for the latest news.

Here is the official website.
