30.11.12 - Today marked the opening of the
4th London Chess Classic, which succeeds last year’s
tournament as the strongest ever tournament in Britain.

a generally informal affair. Anyone who comes to London
looking for pomp and ceremony should go to watch the
Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace; the London Chess
Classic is a more relaxed affair.

The 4th London Chess Classic 2012 will again
offer free admission to children for the duration of the
event which runs from December 1st to 10th.
Once again we are offering a
comprehensive program of schools
activities.
Adult and junior ticket holders receive
admission to the tournament, which is being staged at
London's prestigious Olympia Conference Centre, plus a
guaranteed seat in the
auditorium and access to the Commentary Room where some
of the UK's leading Grandmasters will give insights into the
play and answer questions.
The field is
now complete and is absolutely stellar, with world
number one Magnus Carlsen, the winner of the first two
London Chess Classic tournaments trying to unseat the 13th
world champion Vladimir Kramnik who won in 2011. The world
champion Vishy Anand has yet to take the London Chess
Classic title and having retained the world crown earlier
this year, he will be looking to add the LCC to his long
list of tournament victories.
