Corus Chess News #1

Corus Chess News 1This year we're adding something new to our coverage: today we're introducing Corus Chess News, a daily news bulletin about the Corus Chess Tournament. The first episode is about yesterday's opening ceremony.

In this first bulletin we're focusing on the Dutch participants in Grandmaster Group A. Some chess fans have put question marks around the participation of Daniel Stellwagen and Jan Smeets, and yesterday we asked these two GMs what they expect of their tournament. And Van Wely, he's surely planning to finish ahead of them, isn't he?

Cool interviews, I was also thinking that WV wanted so much at least to finish ahead of the other Dutch players. I remember he said something like he felt betrayed after he trained with them and then they beat him.

just wondering. There were so many good and exciting players on the list, but the invitation to play in this tournament is very selective.
What is the criteria?
