    Should be an interesting tournament. I am rooting for Sasikiran naturally. I feel his potential has been underutilised. He should play more often.

    Girls are a big distraction at chess tournaments and if they are your opponent in the first round its much pressure. At least I think so.

    A tournament is very dull without any girls. Yeah you are under pressure when playing one but that's ok i would still like to have them around.
