Yes, Nakamura is playing. He should win; he is certainly the best player in the field.

Nakamura probably has the best chance. Unfortunatly we don't have any possiblility of Nakamura vrs Kamsky untill the final. Which I might add is quick -chess.. what the hell. Why play 9 rounds with FIDE time just to get the chance to play a quick chess final?

Anyway I think those 2 have the best chance but I'll take my dark horse Varuzhan Akobian. I have been studying his games lately and I'm impressed (then again, all GMs impress me).

The games begin at 3PM CST which is 12 minutes from now. However it also says March 1st, and it's march 2nd. My guess is that something went wrong and they are testing...
