FIDE World Cup 2011
Mark Crowther - Saturday 23rd July 2011
The FIDE World Cup is a 7 round knockout with 128 players which will qualify the winner to the next World Chess Championship cycle. Not all eligible players are competing but the field is nevertheless very strong with many of the players who took part in the recent Candidates tournament competing. Top 10: Sergey Karjakin, Vassily Ivanchuk, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Ruslan Ponomariov, Vugar Gashimov, Alexander Grischuk, Teimour Radjabov, Gata Kamsky, Peter Svidler, Dmitry Jakovenko. Full round pairings in the body of the article. Someone has pointed out that they are not consistent with information elsewhere on the site and "According to the table of pairings, GM Zhao faces GM Tomashevsky and the same in pairing tree. But in pairing tree, the winner of Zhao-Tomashevsky faces the winner of Andreikin- Kazhgaleyev. But in pairing table, Andreikin is supposed to play GM Mareco, Sandro whilst GM Murtas Kazhgaleyev is playing GM Berkes, Ferenc." So don't take them as confirmed.
