Continuing the tradition of hosting strong tournaments with some of the world's best young chess players, a new exciting event is about to start on 2nd February in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
Ukranians Ruslan Ponomariov (2723), Andrei Volokitin (2665) and Sergey Karjakin (2660) will be highest rated participants and probably main competitors for the winning trophy. My favorite Cubans Lazaro Bruzon (2650) and Lenier Dominguez (2638) are also playing. I hope one of them can surprise and get into top tree. Francisco Vallejo Pons (2650) is having tough schedule considering the fact that his Linares tour starts only one week after this event. US champion Hikaru Nakamura (2644) has positive feelings about this city as he beat Sergey Karjakin 4,5-1,5 in last year's match. Veselin Topalov's second Ivan Cheparinov (2625) has ticket for all-important tournaments around the world. Argentinian Ruben Felgaer (2607) and 16 years old Mexican Manuel Leon Hoyes (2428) are closing the list of participants.
