8th World Team Championship 2011 (Teams)
Aronian and Karjakin top field for World Chess Team Championship starting Sunday
Mark Crowther - Tuesday 12th July 2011
Levon Aronian and Sergey Karjakin are the leading players in a strong field gathered for the World Team Championship which start in Ningbo, China on Sunday 17th July. There is at the time of writing no official site nor official team listings but all the teams are known. A couple of players caught my eye. Peter Leko returns to chess after a long break. Yasser Seirawan continues his return to over the board chess started at the US Championship. Some missing players include Vladimir Kramnik (playing Dortmund), Boris Gelfand, Hikaru Nakamura, Ruslan Ponomariov and Viswanathan Anand doesn't play team events for India anymore. See the current list below.
