World Chess Championship
Published:
6 November 2001 y., Tuesday
Today FIDE has officially announced that the lot for the World Chess Championships has been drawn.
As it was already expected, Dagne Ciuksyte will meet the Georgian grandmaster Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant and Sarunas Sulskis – grandmaster Alexander Graf from Germany.
I would like to mention some of more interesting pairs: the former Lithuanian (now American) grandmaster Kamile Baginskaite will play with a Russian grandmaster Svetlana Prudnikova, Kamile’s husband – Aleksej Jermolinskij – with a Swiss grandmaster Valim Milov. The former Lithuanian chess player (now also American) Aleksandr Ivanov will play with a Russian Eugenij Pigusov.
We wish them all good luck.
