Pfalz Open-Feb 15-22 2009

Yet another big tournament going on at the end of the month, but not quite as long and with a shorter time control of 40 moves in 120 minutes followed by 60 minutes for the rest of the game. There will be a lot of info to try to keep up with these coming days, will try to do my best.

I listed only the participants rated over 2500, there are far more in the tournament! So I will probably update only the top boards. But you know me, I will probably miss a round or two somewhere in all these tournaments/match.
