GM Lazaro Bruzon, young Cuban champion, is going to face the Dutch veteran GM Jan Timman in matches to be held from June 11-17 on the Caribbean island of Curacao.
"The study of his games has allowed me to widen my knowledge about one of the most creative chess players in the world. His style is very similar to mine. I think it will be a very interesting match, and I will do my best to win," said Bruzon.
The competition is being organized by the Curacao Foundation to promote Jan Timman's latest book: "Curacao 1962, the Battle of Minds that Shook the International Chess World."
Four rapid matches will be played first and then four classic games. Bruzon is rated 2669 while Timman is rated 2607, so we could expect interesting games.
