Linares the strongest tournament of the year begins tomorrow. Unlike the Corus festival this is a small round robin event, because of this the players take short draws alot of the time with a +2 score sometimes good enough to win first place. Hopefully this year we will have more fighting chess, players like Radjabov, Carlson, Ivanchuk, Topalov, Shirov, are not likely to disappoint.
