Will we see a super strong Anish Giri?
The 2020 #FIDECandidates Tournament starts tomorrow on http://chess.com/tv!

Watch the top #chess players begin their quest to become the challenger for the 2020 World Championship against Magnus Carlsen!
12th World Chess Champion Vladimir Kramnik believes this is the wrong time to hold the #FIDECandidates and pulls out of live commentary! We'll have Magnus Carlsen & Peter Svidler during tomorrow's Round 1:
The decision by the Russian Sports Ministry to cancel all international events has provoked an understandable alarm among chess fans. But this decree won't impact the #FIDECandidates. The FIDE President has received assurances that the event is deemed safe and can go ahead.
