The Russian Superfinal, a 10 player Round Robin (9 Rounds) Tournament starts tomorrow at 7am EST with relays available on chessclub.com and I suppose other chess playing sites on the net. I see that the official site http://russiachess.org/ does have some sort of relay set up, but when you try to look at the English version of the page, you are taken back in time two years. I hope this will be fixed before the tournament start, but find it unlikely. But you still may be able to watch the games for free on this site by clicking on the Online link in the area where for the first part says Cynep**Ha* 2009 (* cyrillic letters, phoetically would say Superfinal) I will post the official logo and link it to the page.

1. GM Peter Svidler 2754

Not a Chess Pro? Me either, So there are some books that are "must haves" I will put two here first "Reassess Your Chess" By IM Jeremy Silman followed by "My System" by Aron Nimzowitsch (21st century edition, more complex than Silman's book, but with computer software making setting up boards and following variations easier, more friendly to the user).
The First "Must Have" - " Reassess Your Chess" By International Master Jeremy Silman
The More advanced second "Must Have" - "My System" 21st Century Edition by Aron Nimzowitsch
