And Then There Were Seven

And last but not least, from 15 to 22 April 2017 16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen will took part in the 4th GRENKE Chess Classic in Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden, Germany. It’s his first tournament since he announced to the world his romance with Miss Synne Christin Larsen. And so, while thinking upon his country’s bid to host his next World Chess Championship match, Magnus will have to prove (for his own good) that all Othellos’s jealousy does not necessarily imply that his opponents will defeat him at the chessboard.
The other participants are (in alphabetical order): Levon Grigori Aronian, Matthias Blübaum, Fabiano Caruana, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), Georg Meier, Arkadij Naiditsch, and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.
