The 17th Amber Rapid and Blindfold Chess Tournament takes place March 14th-28th, 2008 at the grandiose Hotel Palais de la Mediterranée on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France.
Twelve of the world's top grandmasters from ten different countries will take part in this hotly-contested annual contest. On offer is a 216,000 Euro ($337,000) total prize-fund. The event is organized by the Association Max Euwe and generously sponsored by Mr and Mrs Van Oosterom from Monaco.
With eight players from the world's top ten (including the top four) and an average rating of 2752 (category 21), the line-up is even stronger than the super-tournaments in Wijk aan Zee and Morelia- Linares. These are the twelve participants: Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand, Veselin Topalov, Alexander Morozevich, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Peter Leko, Vasily Ivanchuk, Levon Aronian, Boris Gelfand, Magnus Carlsen, Sergey Karjakin and Loek van Wely.
