It is Saturday Open Forum! Carlsen is back in action tomorrow. He will attempt to defend his title at Biel. He defeated GM Onischuk in the blitz playoff last year after the pair were tied in the final standing. Here is the field this year:

Magnus Carlsen NOR 2775
Leinier Dominguez CUB 2708
Evgeny Alekseev RUS 2708
Etienne Bacrot FRA 2691
Alexander Onischuk USA 2670
Yannick Pelletier SUI 2569

Can Magnus break 2800 or earn the #1 ranking from this event? He is at 2791 right now based on the LIVE rating.

The Susan Polgar All-Star training will start Monday and the SP National Invitational for Girls will start next Sunday. Both will be held on campus at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.

What would you like to discuss this week? The forum is yours!
