Although the FIDE Grand Prix has run in to its fair share of troubles, when the events are actually held, they've been good to watch. Both the size and make up of the fields have contributed to this, as having 14 player events allows players from outside the 'elite' to take part, resulting in more varied chess.
For Australian fans, the start times have been quite helpful as well. With daylight savings finishing earlier this month, Europe is an hour closer, and the games from Nalchik begin at a reasonable 9pm AEST. This allows a substantial amount of the game to be viewed before sleep catches up with us. If you wish to watch the games online the tournament website is http://www.nalchik2009.fide.com/
