The 2019 #FIDEWorldCup starts on Tuesday, with Ding Liren the top seed - can you predict how the matches will go?
Dubov - Firouzja in 2nd round and 3rd round possibly against Ding Liren should be interesting! Good for Alireza to test himself!
The opening ceremony of the FIDE World Cup 2019 took place in Khanty-Mansiysk on September 9.
It was filled with spectacular artistic performances. You can find photos by Kirill Merkuryev here and see for yourself:
