What kind of a European Club Cup is this with players from all over the world?
@Anon 9:43AM: Even if more Americans are/were invited, they wouldn’t be among the top40 players by rating.
“What kind of a European Club Cup is this with players from all over the world?’

It’s the EUROPEAN CLUB cup, dummy. The club is European, players can be from any country. Just like football and UEFA Champions League.
‘It’s the EUROPEAN CLUB cup, dummy.’
And what about the USA Club Cup, it has Australians in it?
‘It’s the EUROPEAN CLUB cup, dummy.’
You are dum, too. If only I could play chess with you, I could prove how dum you really are.
Chess has little to do with inteligence. Chess blogs like this one and chess forums prove this over and over again.
