This is a nice field so far.
Who is the last Indian participated in Spice cup?
Now Nakamura and Robert Hess would be great additions for the home crowd
How about GM Wesley So competing in category A?
Please correct the error:
The #1 Cuban Player and former World Blitz Championship, GM Leinier Dominguez…
Please change Championship to Champion.
Better:
The #1 Cuban player and former World Blitz Champion, GM Leinier Dominguez…
What happened to Viktor Laznicka? I seem to recall he was confirmed as well.
I think he has a schedule conflict.
