2017 European Club Cup & 88.FIDE Congress |
The countdown has started for European Club Cup 2017 in Göynük/Antalya, one of the most prestigious events in chess calendar and certainly the strongest competition on club level. As in previous years, many of world’s best players will be competing for 7 rounds in order to make their clubs the champion of Europe.
This year’s edition will see 36 clubs and 254 players in total competing in the open section. Starting from the last year’s champions, Alkaloid from Macedonia, one can see that they certainly don’t want to part up with their title as their super strong lineup led by Chinese stars Ding Liren and Yu Yangyi -averaging 2724 ELO- shows. But they are not the rating favourites and that with quite some margin! Globus from Russia has an even more impressive lineup averaging a massive 2772 ELO with an ex-World Champion, Vladimir Kramnik, on board one. Having a look just at their 5th and 6th boards is enough to get an idea about the enormous strength of Globus: Giri and Nepomniachtchi! Considering that Mamedyarov, Grischuk and Karjakin will also be playing for Globus, one can definitely say that the Russian club is the team to beat in Antalya. |
