Today is a free day for all players. It was designed this way because of the Jewish Holidays (Yom Kippur).

French GM Robert Fontaine will be doing a simul for the French Community in Mexico City. Gelfand visited the Jewish Community before the WC started. Boris’ fans will be coming on Monday to give him support.

Most players will be relaxing and preparing for game 9 tomorrow. The organizer arranged for a special bus to take all the journalists (and perhaps players if they want) to the Pyramids.

Rybka and Zappa will continue their match soon. I will be interviewing both Rybka and Zappa’s teams.
