There is a Super GM Tournament in Nanjing, China taking place place 10th - 22nd December 2008. Six-player double round robin event. Players: Veselin Topalov g BUL 2791; Vassily Ivanchuk g UKR 2786; Levon Aronian g ARM 2757; Movsesian Sergei g 2732 SVK; Peter Svidler g 2727; Bu Xiangzhi g CHN 2714. It will be the strongest tournament ever held in China (at least by Elo average, 2751.6, making it a category 21 tournament) The Nanjing tournament will become super one like Wijk aan Zee, Sofia, and Linares.

| akhc: well Bu better find his form quick. his olympiad so far has been less than impressive and if he doesn't pick up, then against this calibre of opposition he's going to get killed. |

| Troller: It's a bit strange that Bu and not Wang has been invited to the Nanjing tournament. Of course, Wang only got his real breakthrough this year, but he is without any doubt the strongest Chinese at the moment - and probably the only one to have realistic winning chances in a field counting Topalov, Chucky and Aronian. |

| Ladolcevita: <troller>
because the schedule of a top player often was decided the previous year.
And Bu actually won against many top players before,and he was a prodigy when he was very young(do you remember that future world champion game between he and Radbojev?),so he is of course very famous in the world.Thats not strange that he gets invited.
And also, WangYue would spare time to prepare for the grand prix and the corus A next year,so he doesnt have time either. |

| Troller: <Ladolcevita> You are probably right. It's only been two weeks since the tournament was announced, but of course it has been planned for quite some time. Still, it's a strange choice to have only one Chinese there - Ni, Wang & Bu are all strong enough for a super tournament. Anyway, looking forward to it. I hope Bu doesn't get crushed. |

| Eban: M-Tel Masters (2008)/Bu Xiangzhi Bu getting destroyed in MTel last year - therefore destroyed his chances to be invited to other top events... I doubt he will invited to another super-tournament unless he's the token Chinese in Nanjing tournament. Although he may revive his international chances if he achieves a high rating like say around 2750, which I highly doubt will happen. First of all his opening repertoire is too crap, second he's not consistent, and third as he's getting older his feel for the game ("chess talent") is going downhill. |
