It's a pity Kasp. & Kramnik arn't there, Doctor Kamsky & his Dad would be good, & I too am a fan of Yassar. I'd also have liked to see Ian Rogers (Aussie GM), and last but not least Tony Miles. It's fun to see the Young Blood against the Old Stalwalts. And in "sudden death" shocks like Anand's first game loss make it all the more interesting. I wonder if they'll all get paid this year?
