Eugeny Atarov reports: "As we now know Karpov is out of the championships. The day before in a small interview with GM Sveshnikov he named Karpov as one of the favorites for the championships! However Karpov seemed unready for fast chess. In the tie-breaks there was a small controversy in the first Elhvest-Radjabov game. Because of an arbiters mistake they played the first blitz-game without increment. When Radjabov's flag fell (a piece up) he protested right away. But it was turned down and after the second playoff game was drawn he was out."
"Round 2 has been moved to the Central Chess Club in Moscow because of the visit of the president of Ukraine. This is not a big building, it can hardly contain the players. Seconds, spectators and many journalists have remained in the street."
Eugeny Atarov reports: "During the Championships fundraising has begun for the Ukranian Chess Player Vladimir Malaniuk. One of the most colourful players on the chess stage of last two decades, Vladimir has become severely ill and he has already had several operations, one more at least is still necessary. Money for treatment has run out. Contact Eugeny Atarov for more details: atarov@rambler.ru"
