With the start of Corus Super Grandmasters chess tournament, eyes are fixed on the much awaited clash between World Champion Vesselin Topalov and Viswanathan Anand.
The game is set at the penultimate round of the tournament held in Dutch town of Wijk Aan Zee.
On Saturday, white-armed Topalov defeated in 25 moves Russian turned American Gata Kamsky who came back to competitive chess recently after a long hiatus.
Looking for a record fifth title in this traditional event, Anand will get seven black and six white games in the tournament. It is some disadvantage compared to his main competitor Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, who will get seven white games in all.
The category 19 round-robin event will see most of the stars of the world in action over the next fortnight in the 14-players tournament.
As per FIDE stipulations in such events, the top half gets more whites than the lower half and this is where Topalov edged Anand as he got number four that guarantees an extra white.
On Sunday Vesselin Topalov will meet Michael Adams of the UK.
