Odell,

I only know of 2 upcoming 40/2 events:

Hiarcs 7 vs Yermolinksy (6 game 40/2 match)
WCCC top 4 finishers vs. (van Wely, Vaganian, I. Sokolov, Lutz)

The May 10 event in Tel-Aviv with Junior is G/30 and G/60, so it doesn't count.

I don't know what time control will be used at the Frankfurt Masters at the end
of June.

So, we should see at least 10 40/2 games between comps and GMs.  That's probably
not enough to settle this debate for good, but it is a start.

I think you will be surprised by how well the GMs do at 40/2.  It's very
different than G/30.
