Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
No Topalov, Anand, Kramnik, Aronian, Carlsen, Morozevich, Ivanchuk, Adams, etc.
Almost none of the bigs but the winner is a WC contender.
You clearly don’t know much.
Aronian and Ivanchuk are still part of Grand Prix. Anand, Morozevich, Topalov and Kramnik declined to participate from the beginning (before all the mess with withdrawals and changing of the cycle). In fact the cycle was changed because of Topalov and Kramnik.

Let me say: The leaders here belong to the next generation of top grandmasters. So it is good to learn about their chess characters.
okay
