Fresh off his impressive performance in London, GM Jon Ludvig Hammer has just confirmed his participation for the 2010 SPICE Cup A Group. I also hope to finalize an agreement shortly to have GM Wesley So back in the 2010 SPICE Cup as well.
There will be a few small modifications in the 2010 SPICE Cup A group to ensure an exciting tournament. They will be announced in the near future. Stay tuned for the update.

Or someone must put some computers to find some way to destroy this boring opening.
Hammer is an exciting player. So is So. Great choices.

Hammer and So – great combination. Sounds like a carpentry workshop. 🙂
Hope you can get an elite GM. Perhaps Radjabov or Karjakin. Wesley So seems to play more exciting chess when a 2700 player is around.
yay hammer!
I’ve asked this before and I’ll ask it again….
Where can we get those oh-so-cool SPICE T shirts like the one Hammer is wearing?
