The 3rd Pivdenny Bank Chess Cup begins. The participants are Ivanchuk, Radjabov, Shirov, Grischuk, Gelfand, Bacrot, Smirin, Korchnoi, Drozdovskij and Tukmakov.

There will be no separate English site of the tournament, but the plan is to post the daily releases in English at the official website: http://worldcup.pivdenny.com/ru/

The basic details in English (at the top of the news, as of yet) and photo report from the opening ceremony can be found there already.
