Hi everyone,
Chessdom has just reported that an unwell Alexander Morozevich has withdrawn from the Biel Chess Festival – Grandmasters’ event due to health reasons. The start of the 3rd round of the Biel Grandmaster Tournament was 15 minutes late. Alexander Morozevich is not in condition to play the game due to medical problems.
The official website states that the match “Alexander Morozevich – Magnus Carlsen is postponed”. Our sources say that Morozevich withdrew from the tournament. In the first two rounds Morozevich suffered losses against Giri and Bacrot, possibly already being under the weather. It is definitely a turbulent Biel tournament. First Carlsen replaced Dominguez, now Morozevich is not in condition to continue.
Update 1
Biel organizers are discussing a possible replacement, but what system will be adopted in each case is not yet decided.
