Jun-13-16    Mr. V: Expect a lot of hard-fought games among these almost-elite. Jun-13-16    pekda: Why is it showing the premier group here instead of the elite group with Leinier Dominguez Perez, Ivanchuk, Almasi, Cheparinov, etc.? Check the website, folks. Jun-13-16    HeMateMe: where is chucky? Jun-13-16    posoo: READ da CAPTION hoHutmun, he is in da ALETE section! Jun-14-16    jphamlore: What a start to this event for Jeffery Xiong. Jun-18-16    Mr. V: And a poor one for Sam Sevian. All the Cuban players have repeatedly shown their ability to overperform in team competitions; finally Ortiz Suarez is doing the same here as an individual.
