MSSM 2011

One of the major chess event in Malaysia, MSSM is just less than a week. All the states will be competing each other and of course lining up their best player in the squad. It will be a very intense 6 rounds competition as all the states are aiming only for 1 goal, the GOLD!
So which state will bag the most gold this year? Cast your vote on the side bar to support your state!

Its Gelfand against Anand!

Finally, Gelfand broke the dead lock after 5 straight draws to defeat Grischuk with white pieces in the 6th round. The Israel defeated Grischuk in just 35 moves.
With this victory, the world no.16 wins the right to challenge the world champion Vishy Anand of India for the world title next year!
