A couple of weeks ago we posted the odds to win the 2018 Sparkassen Chess Meeting. The event is now underway with two rounds in the books. That’s a good time to revise the ‘To Win’ odds and we’ve also got all four matchups set for Tuesday’s Round 3. Action starts at 3:15 PM local time in Dortmund, Germany (15:15 Central European Summer Time for those of you who are sticklers for detail). That’s 9:15 AM Eastern, 8:15 AM Central, 7:15 AM Mountain and 6:15 AM Pacific here in North America. Those of you in the rest of the world can get the correct time conversion at this site.

46TH DORTMUND SPARKASSEN CHESS-MEETING 2018 (CHESSBASE.COM)

The Sparkassen Chess Meeting–sometimes referred to as the Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting–has been held every Summer since 1973 in Dortmund, Germany. It was held sporadically prior to that with record of tournaments in 1928, 1951 and 1961. The tournament is essentially an ‘invitational’ event though one entry slot is awarded to the winner of Russia’s Aeroflot Open tournament. Vladislav Kovalev is the 2018 representative from that event. There’s an interesting historical sidebar to this tournament’s history–in 2002 it served as the Candidates Tournament for the 2004 Classical World Chess Championship. Péter Lékó won, defeating Veselin Topalov in the finals.
