Nachrichten WM 2012 in Moskau! Preisfonds über 2,5 Millionen US-Dollar
08.08.2011 - Der Weltschachverband FIDE hat entschieden und in einer Presseerklärung geschrieben: Das WM-Duell zwischen Weltmeister Viswanathan Anand aus Indien und Herausforderer Boris Gelfand aus Israel wird in Russlands Hauptstadt Moskau ausgetragen. Stattfinden soll das Match im Mai 2012 mit einem Preisfonds von exakt 2,55 Millionen US-Dollar. Das einzige seriöse Gegenangebot hatte es zuvor aus dem indischen Chennai gegeben. Parallel gab die FIDE bekannt, das WM-Match der Frauen zwischen Weltmeisterin Hou Yifan aus China und Herausforderin Humpy Koneru aus Indien werde im November 2011 mit einem Preisfonds von 200.000 Euro(!) im albanischen Tirana ausgetragen. Läuft aus indischer Sicht alles Weitere nach Plan, könnte man in rund einem Dreivierteljahr beide Weltmeister im klassischen Schach stellen. Bis dahin wird allerdings noch viel Wasser den Ganges hinunterfließen.
The Federation Internationale des Echecs is pleased to announce that following the evaluation of the bids for the World Chess Championship Match 2012 and the recommendations by the World Championship and Olympiad Commission, it has awarded the organization of the match to the Russian Chess Federation.
