WORLD TRIPLE CROWN CHESS CHAMPION M. CARLSEN AND 5 OPPONENTS NAMED FOR $400,OOO SINQUEFIELD CUP STARTING AUGUST 28 IN ST.LOUIS, MISSOURI … PLAYING TEN GAMES EACH ARE: NAKAMURA, VACHIER-LAGRAVE, KARJAKIN, ARONIAN, CARUANA AND THE WORLD BLITZ/RAPID/CLASSICAL CHESS CHAMPION MAGNUS CARLSEN OF NORWAY. Apparently several recent ridiculous grandmaster draws and mickey mouse prearranged games by American chess greats had not gone unnoticed by the tourney selection committee … they simply kicked these players out the door … good for them and chess.
