The 3rd ITT Jahv McGregor is being held from 11th to 16th December at the Centro Comercial Bulevar Niza in Bogota, Colombia.

The tournament will be played over nine rounds of Swiss pairings. 205 participants from 14 countries signed up, including 11 Grandmasters and 32 International Masters.

Last year winner Lazaro Bruzon of Cuba is back to defend the title as the top seeded player. Bruzon appears to be in excellent shape as he won the 2nd Copa AES in Dominican Republic a couple of days ago.
