If Rajib can get into the top 10 place in the ongoing VI Asian Championship, he will be a participant of World Chess Cup 2007. I think he has a good chance.

Not good for the boys in light of how Koushik, Rasel and Dollar are performing, not to mention Talha, Sajid and Suman Saha.

World Chess C'ships
Zia, Rajib leave for Russia today
Source-DS

The Bangladesh Chess team will leave Dhaka today to participate in the World Chess Champion-ships to be held in an icy Siberia, Russia.

Grand Master Ziaur Rahman and International Master Enamul Hossain Rajib will be accompanied by Latvian coach Igor Rousis in the trip to Khanty-Mansiysk where the championships start on November 24.

Zia (rating 2497), who got an entry by direct invitation of the FIDE president, will play Russian GM Dimitri Jakovenko (2710) -- the 19-th ranked player in the world, on the opening day in the first round.

Rajib (2514) who qualified after finishing among the top ten players of the VI Asian Individual Chess Championship held in Cebu City, Philippines last August, also faces a tough task, facing world number 26 Pavel Eljanov (2691) of Ukraine.

The players will face each other twice in the knockout rounds.

Not only high-ranked players, the Bangladeshi duo will face another adversary in the Siberian city, where the current temperature is running -10 degrees Celsius.

"It would be difficult for the Bangladeshi players to cope with the icy weather in Khanty-Mansiysk. We have trained for the games but the only preparation for the cold was to buy warm clothes from Bangabazar," told Rousis jovially yesterday.

The only previous time Bangladesh took part in the World Championships was in 1997.
