Our friends from Europe-Echecs have the following details:
Groupe A
Radjabov, Harikrishna, Karjakin, Fressinet, Negi, Kosteniuk, Stefanova et Sebag. (moyenne Elo : 2593,38)
Groupe B
Bacrot, Carlsen, Karpov, Volokitin, Vachier-Lagrave, Koneru, Zhao et Skripchenko. (moyenne Elo : 2591,75)
I hope Karpov fixes the hole. According to Kasparov Karpov is the only living Super-Grandmaster (besides him). Times had passed, but it would surprise me if Karpov couldn’t handle the other guys we meet in this tournament 😉
Nonsense … Karpov will be torn to pieces by the youngsters! He is simply too old nowadays … guess he’ll reach 50%.

I think Carlsen will do it again!!!
