Wow, Jesus is joining….this tournament will be fun!
It looks there will be coverage on the main site, http://www.inder.co.cu/capablanca/. The site has been updated with a place for information about the tournament with a link to the players (jugadores), which is just lists of who is participating tin the elite and open groups, and to round-by-round standings (roundas), which at the moment is a blank crosstable for the elite group and a list of the games to be played in the open group.
Also on the far right is the word partidas with no link, but we can hope there will be one soon.
I don’t know what time the games are to begin; it is now 5:30 pm in Havana.
