A fter two editions dedicated to the glories of the years 80-90 and the third edition which has represented a very strong tournament of XX category, the Kings' Tournament reaches now its top level (rating average 2742). This year's edition is a part of the Grand Slam Circuit and is special first of all thanks to the participation of the magnificent Norvegian Magnus Carlsen, which at only 19 years old has a rating of 2813 and is the world number 1 player! The previous year's winner, the Ukrainian Vassily Ivanchuk had to play in Cuba in this period and has been replaced by his fellow countryman, the ex-FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov. Other participants are: the 2009 World-Cup winner Boris Gelfand, the best Chinese player Wang Yue, the second-best Azerbaijani player Teimour Radjabov and the best Romanian player Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu. The competition will take place from the 14-th to the 25-th of June in Medias (in the heart of Transilvania) and taking into consideration the above-mentioned outstanding players it will certainly provide us with great and spectacular chess.

Carlsen played flawlessly and Radjabov resigned.
5.5 / 7 for Carlsen now, and about 2825 in live rating.

Carlsen doesn't have any match experience does he?

It is possible he hits 2850 soon. I don't think it will mean the same as when Kasparov hit 2850 or when Fischer hit 2700. Rating inflation is getting worse and worse...
