The World Chess Championships begin Tuesday in Bonn.
Experts are predicting a close match between Indian grandmaster Viswanathan Anand, who is defending the title, and grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik of Russia. The two players are evenly matched and for many years have jostled each other for second and third place on the ratings list behind chess great Garry Kasparov, who retired in 2005. The 12-game match is scheduled through October 31. If necessary, November 2 is set aside for a series of blitz games to decide the winner.
