I'm glad GM Walter Browne is back. He played good game against Gata Kamsky in round one of US chess championship, although he lost. GM Maxim Dlugy is also playing.
Last year champion Hikaru Nakamura lost to IM Josh Friedel in round one and then barely pulled a draw against Jake Kleiman (2279).
Mig is in bragging mode over there at ChessNinja. I'm sure people will run to buy his newsletters.
