2016 Dortmund

The Sparkassen Chess Meeting begins soon in Dortmund. It features two 2800 players, Kramnik and Caruana. Also playing is Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (2798); perhaps he will also join the 2800 club.

Methodology

2016 Capablanca Memorial

The 2016 Capablanca Memorial begins in a few days. The event that I'll be forecasting is the elite tournament, a 6-player double round robin. The top seed is Dominguez, but Ivanchuk should not be counted out.

Methodology

2016 Gashimov Memorial

The 2016 Gashimov Memorial begins soon. The top seeds are Caruana and Giri, though many will also be watching Karjakin's performance.

Methodology

I might not be consistent with updating the forecast, since I'm considering going to the Chicago Open this weekend.
