The World Chess Championship Tournament 2007 is to launch in Mexico
tomorrow. 8 famous chess grandmasters will be competing during the
championship.

The best Armenian chessman Levon Aronyan is also among aspirants. The
competitors of the Armenian grandmaster are Vladimir Kramnik,
Alexander Morozevich, Alexander Grischuk, Vishvanatan Anand, Peter
Leko and Boris Gelfand.

The first rook of the championship is due on 13 September. The chessmen
will compete in 2 stages holding 14 rooks.

The favorite of the championship is Vladimir Kramnik who has been
getting ready for it for a long time and has much to prove in
Mexico. In 2006 32-year-old chessman defeated Veselin Topalov of
Bulgaria who blamed him in getting prompts from computer.

The main opponents of Kramnik are Aronyan and Vishvanatan Anand of
India. As compared with Aronyan, Anand is very experienced and this
championship is the last opportunity for him to reach a serious
success.

While for Aronyan it will be a heavy experience and will give answers
to many questions. After winning in the World Cup Tournament, Aronyan
succeeded in a number of tours and now he has a real chance to become
the best in the world.
