23rd European Club Cup 2007

140 GMs, 78 IMs, 47 FMs, 1 WGM in a total of 272 titled players

The 23rd European Club Cup 2007 is taking place 3-9 October in Kemer, Turkey. It is a very strong event collecting 140 GMs, 78 IMs, 47 FMs, 1 WGM, for a total of 272 titled players. The list starts with the new World Chess Champion and only player to be 2800 + at the moment, Vishy Anand. Then we find 5 more top 10 players - the always rolling Ivanchuk, the unpredictable Morozevich, the two young stars Mamedyarov and Radjabov, and the solid Alexei Shirov.

It gets even better. The US number one player Gata Kamsky participates as well alongside Michael Adams. Carlsen could not miss the event, nor Karjakin, Bacrot, Kasimdzhanov, Malakhov, Grischuk, Van Wely, Rublevski, Sargissian, Onischuk, Cheparinov, Sokolov, and we can go on for ages. Here are the 15 strongest teams.
