Corus 2011

Swaminathan · Post by **Swaminathan** » Mon Jan 17, 2011 3:47 am

I'm delighted to know that Corus has been taken over and sponsored by Tata steel, the Indian company.

http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=6948

Nice list of participants.

Since it's a 13 round tournament - there's a lot of rounds left, only 2 rounds has been finished. So - Who do you think will win the Corus, and who do you think qualifies as dark horse?

For me, it's likely either Carlsen, Vishy or Aronian. Dark horse is reserved for Nakamura ofcourse.

I don't have a dark horse favorite, but my money is on Carlsen to win this year (again).

			<div class="content">Round 5 looks like a Ruy Lopez day. Carlsen with 5. d3 against L'Ami to avoid(?!) the Open Ruy, Smeets-Anand a Breyer, Nepomniachtchi-Shirov an Arkhangelsk (or maybe not -- b5, but then Bc5 instead of Bb7 directly). Giri opted for a Petrov against Vachier-Lagrave, while Kramnik ensures a draw with White with an Exchange Slav against Aronian.  <img class="smilies" src="./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif" width="15" height="17" alt=":)" title="Smile">  The other two games are also d4 games, with Wang Hao vs Grischuk essentially a KID Fianchetto (via transposition), and Nakamura-Ponomariov a Nimzo, again with White opting for a g3/Bg2 fianchetto.<br>
<br>
EDIT: Nepomniachtchi-Shirov is following Shirov's Round 1 loss to Smeets. Maybe he will improve at some point. Now at move 26 rather rapidly. White varied first with 23. Qc2 rather than 23. Na7.</div>
