Aug-31-07   yalie: Ganguly wins the Asian Zonal Chess Championship beating G N Gopal on tie-break. With this win, Ganguly clinches a spot in the World Cup to be held in Khanty Mansik later in the year. He will be the fourth Indian to qualify for Khanty-Mansik after Anand, Sasi and Hari. Of course Anand will most likely not play if he wins in Mexico.
Aug-31-07   angslo: that means G.N. Gopal just missed qualifying for world cup.WOW. <yalie>, how many players participating in world cup - what is format like?
