I've been so busy with my own chess activities over the last fortnight that I failed to notice the the Sochi Grand Prix event has started. The first FIDE GP event in Baku was an undoubted success, and hopefully this one will sustain the same level of interest in the chess world.
After 3 rounds Ivan Cheperinov leads with 2.5, but given that everyone in the 14 player tournament has at least a point, it would take a brave blogger to predict the likely winner.
But I am that blogger and I predict a tie between Gelfand and Grischuk at the end of 13 rounds, with Gashimov as my "roughie"
The website for the event is http://sochi2008.fide.com and live games can be seen at http://sochi2008.fide.com/live-games.html
