The road to Mexico City takes another step forward today as 16 players will compete for the final 4 spots to join Kramnik, Anand, Svidler and Morozevich.
I will cover the candidates’ matches extensively right here. Many games will be covered LIVE and I will do recaps on others. Please feel free to join me with comments, analysis and predictions.

Aronian thought for a long time during the very early stages of the game. Are we already outside theory?
Hi Susan,
I did a preview of the candidates at my blog at http://www.bennedik.de.
1. When do the games start? I know it’s sometimes today only.
2. When are the USCF elections?
3. Judit wins today! Gelfand, too!
Judith has been thinking for quite a long time on her 18th move after Bareevs rook-lift 17. … Rd5.
Could someone evaluate the position ? (Carbon-evaluation, please 🙂
What are the things to consider in this position ?
Is this what is going to happen in Judiths game ?
21. Ng6 Rxf4
22. Nxf4 Bxf2
Two pawns for the exchange combined with that pawn majority on the K-side looks scary for white :/
