The 2012 Tal Memorial will be held from 7-19 June in Moscow, and the six confirmed players so far are: Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik, Lev Aronian, Teimour Radjabov, Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana.

Another four places have to be filled, but this year the organisers have decided to let the great chess public decide who will fill ONE of the remaining coveted entry spots.

 Adams, Michael  ENG 2735
 Wang, Hao  CHN 2733

 Sutovsky, Emil  ISR 2700
 Le, Quang Liem  VIE 2698
