Corus Chess News R7
The 7th round was a disappointing one for Jan Smeets, but also for Gata Kamsky, who found out in the press room that his king could have ran out of Stellwagen's checks. Our Corus Chess News covers yesterday's events, including the timescramble in Iturrizaga-Hillarp Persson, in which White had just 21 seconds left after 21 moves!
