| Anish Giri |
Mit Anish Giri the world’s youngest grandmaster, will contribute to making the Jubilee-Open a spectacular chess event. Born 1994, Giri became a chess grandmaster in February 2009 meeting his final norm in Wijk ann Zee. His fellow grandmaster Andor Lilienthal (born 1911), the world’s oldest grandmaster, used to play against Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine!
Including Anish Giri, more than 300 players already signed up for the Jubilee-Open, among them many players with titles. Georg Kradolfer, organiser of the Jubilee-Open, expects 500-600 players altogether (Master Tournament “Alois Nagler Memorial”, General Tournament “Accentus (Swiss Chess) Open”). Therefore the Jubilee-Open will be held in the Kongresshaus Zürich’s Convention Hall, not in the smaller Garden Room as planned before.
