A Break Ahead

Well it looks like there will not be any chess tournaments for me to enter in the next few months. I may not be posting frequently here in the next while because of that but if I feel the desire to share my thoughts on an opening or look at one of my games I suppose I will. The Corus chess tournament is coming up, and I expect it to be a thriller. I do not remember there being so many players in Group A under 2700 though, and I am curious to know why Levon Aronian is not going to be attending. I expect Magnus Carlsen to win this tournament, but Anand and Kramnik cannot be counted out. Well, only time will tell, and I will be following the tournament closely.
