As reports Peter Doggers at Chess.com, 14th World Chess Champion Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik has had to withdraw from the 4th Sinquefield Cup, which starts next week in Saint Louis, United States, due to a resurgence of the rheumatoid arthritis that afflicted him for a long time. Apparently, Grandmaster Pyotr Veniaminovich Svidler will replace him, provided that no complications arise to get a U.S. visa.
