Grand Prix em Lisboa em Abril 2013 ???

 

Tal como já tinha sido referido pelo nosso seguidor habitual, Dervich, será que está noticia é verdade ?

Estará mesmo confirmada a realização de um torneio de elite do circuito mundial Grand Prix em Lisboa, com inicio em Abril 2013 ?

Tal como Dervich referiu, estranhamente a notícia não surge no site da FPX ou em nenhum outro oficial português. Só mesmo no Vosso site habitual - ESTE !  :)

Alguém tem mais alguma novidade sobre isto que queira partilhar ?!

A noticia vem da FIDE mesmo. E na sua versão original, diz exatamente:

FIDE Grand Prix series 2012/13 – names and dates   17.07.2012 – It starts with London in Sept. 2012, and continues in Tashkent in November, Lisbon in April 2013, Madrid in May, Berlin in July and Paris in Sept. Clearly the absence of Carlsen, Aronian, Kramnik and Anand is a bitter disappointment to the organisers, but the four have schedule problems and are in the next World Championship cycle anyway.
