The 65th Corus Chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee takes place January 10th-26th 2003. Players include
Vladimir Kramnik,
Ruslan Ponomariov,Viswanathan Anand,
Vesselin Topalov and
Vassily Ivanchuk,
Jan Timman and
Loek Van Wely. Garry Kasparov has turned down his invitation and will be missing for the second year in a row. He cites a busy schedule and with appearances at Linares and a match against Ponomariov and potentially one against the winner of Kramnik - Leko he probably has a point (of course Ponomariov also has the same but he is 20 years younger).
