Guys and Dolls

On Saturday, November 26, 2016 FIDE President Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov paid a visit in Bucharest, Romania in order to bless the 10th ROMGAZ Kings Tournament in memoriam of Elisabeta Polihroniade, featuring a 16-game rapid and blitz match between 13th Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) and 14th World Chess Champion Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik, which will take place in Mediaș from 28–30 November, 2016. The guest appearance of 12th Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov and Grandmaster Dorian Rogozenko at the inaugural press conference as well as at the business lunch and the evening gala dinner did obviously not go unnoticed.
