Here are the pairings and participants for World Cup 2009 held in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia, courtesy of Chessdom.com, I will post a link to there via the photo of the event, as you can get pgn downloads of games, follow certain picked games with commentary as they are played live and a new tool that chessdom.com has, you can pick from the rest of the games to watch with computer commentary! TransWarp's blog has been given permission to post articles and pictures from chessdom.com as long as credit is given, and they are due the credit, that's for sure. When asking for this permission some time ago, they were very nice and glad to give permission as long as credit was given, I had just asked for permission to use the logo for a link, but they added articles and photos as well! Some sites are pretty cool like that, I realize it's good for their site as well, but they really don't have to deal with a little blog with such good will and I appreciate that. The link to the official website of the World Cup 2009 is http://www.ugra-chess.ru/eng/main_e.htm It's in both Russian and English, I posted the English link, it's easy to switch to Russian at the site if you so wish. I will try to keep up with standings, but by now, you know me, I often miss a round or two, but on big tournaments like this, I like to keep up to date. Remember to click the logo to get to chessdom.com's great coverage of the tournament!
