I'm not trying to "drop out the chess half" of computer chess. I just
think that talking about which human player is going to play in which
upcoming tournament is *completely* off-topic in this forum. This forum
works very well because the vast majority of threads are about computer
chess. I think we should all try to keep it that way.

Best regards

Andrew
