M-tel Masters Sofia (BULGARIA)

During the week, this small country located in the heart of Europe will be the centre of attention for chess. Bulgaria with its two chess superstars was bound to organise a high class international tournament. Now it’s done.

THE TWO BULGARIAN SUPERSTARS

Veselin Topalov : With an impressive list of achievements since the last ten years, Veselin made himself known in style with an historic victory over the King Garry Kasparov. This was his last game.

Antoaneta Stefanova : The current world champion, Antoaneta also achieves the best results among the elite female players.

10 games (a double round robin tournament with 5 matches; each player plays the opponent twice, once with the black pieces and once with the white pieces), will be enough to determine the winner out of the six competitors.

What a super line-up…
