Shafarevich-Tate 2-parity conjecture for elliptic curves

Let KK be a number field and EE an elliptic curve over KK, and let \cyrr Sh(E/K)(E/K) denote its Shafarevich-Tate group. Shafarevich-Tate 2-parity conjecture. For every elliptic curve E/KE/K,

dimF2\cyrrSh(E/K)[2]\dim_{\mathbf{F}_2}\text{\cyrr Sh}(E/K)[2]

is even. If the 22-primary subgroup \cyrr Sh(E/K)[2](E/K)[2^\infty] is finite, the Cassels pairing implies this parity, so the conjecture concerns the general case where that finiteness is not known; the source gives no resolution.
