Barcelona beckons
Hi Everyone,
Even if you're suffering a little emptiness with the Nanjing Super Chess Tournament having ended and no high-powered chess games happening as of now, take heart.
The Magistral Casino de Barcelona 2010 will take place from November 4-12 at the Catalonian Chess Federation and sponsored by the Casino of Barcelona (Group Peralada), Barcelona City Hall, Catalonian Sports Council and Hotel Icaria of Barcelona.
The following ten internationally recognized Grandmasters will participate in this Round Robin Tournament:
1 GM ROMAIN EDOUARD (FRA) 2636
2 GM ROBERT L. HESS (EEUU) 2596
3 GM DANIEL ALSINA (ESP) 2523
4 GM JORDI MAGEM (ESP) 2589
5 GM IVÁN SALGADO (ESP) 2595
6 GM LÁZARO BRUZÓN (CUB) 2679
7 GM JAIME A. CUARTAS (COL) 2526
8 GM ARTUR YUSSUPOV (ALE) 2589
9 GM JOSEP OMS (ESP) 2517
10 GM ERNESTO INARKIEV (RUS) 2671
The Tournament is actually that of Category 14 which makes it the strongest tournament in Catalonia, and one of the strongest in Spain. Also it is included in the ACP Tour, as one of the most important events in the Chess World.
There will be more activities besides the Tournament, Grandmaster Josep Oms will give a lecture 'How to Discover the Weaknesses of Your Play and Improve It', and Cuba´s Grandmaster Lázaro Bruzón will offer a Simultaneous Exhibition.
