The event started last Saturday with a simultaneous exhibition by GM Fabiano Caruana. In 2½ hours he played 24 games (+20 =2 -2) against many journalists of the most important Italian newspaper, political authorities, and strong players of the local club, the Società Scacchistica Torinese.
There was a wonderful transmission on Italian TV about this event.

Fabiano is the best American young player.
I agree and applaude his parents for the way they have raised him and the decisions they have made to better his career.
