Tennis has four major tournaments. So does golf. What are the "majors" of chess? I am sure Tata was the first major this year. What and when are the others? What is the next upcoming major chess tourney?
Pardon our Blunders today on Chess.com/TV for ALL Members!!!!
Sort:
It used to be Corus(Tata steel), Linares, then probably tournaments like Dortmund, the Aeroflot open, or M-tel masters. Since the Grand Prix series has already run it's course we're left with few super-strong tourneys this year.
I still love watching PoB to cap off my week and start the weekend on a happy note.

Tata Steel, Dortmund (July), M-Tel and Linares.
If the latter two survive as Danailov hopes. http://www.chessintranslation.com/2011/02/danailov-chess-should-either-change-or-die/ M-Tel: "later this year" and Linares "it’ll be held in October"

Sounds like Dortmund, in July, is the next chess major, and that hopefully there will be two more later in the year.
Hello chess fans. Today, at 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern/9 PM London, Chess.com/TV brings you "Pardon Our Blunders" with IMs Danny Rensch and David Pruess, which is what I call the "flagship show" for Chess.com/TV. This week's episode is open to ALL members of Chess.com.
Every week, these two Hosts tackle a range of subjects and it usually turns into some form of debate, but we haven't seen any water balloon fights or paintball assaults or anything of that sort just yet, but you never know what will happen on "Blunders."
I'm sure one of the main topics covered will be the huge "hub-bub" about the 2012 WCC match and where it will be held. There's been a new development or two since last week's show, and I'm sure the guys are going to jump on it like ravenous hyenas. The other topic surely to be discussed is the seemingly piece by piece destruction of some major chess tournaments. We'll see what the guys have to say about this and more today on PoB. Don't miss out!
So please tune in today at 1 PM/4 PM Eastern/9 PM London. Follow this link to Chess.com/TV. We hope to see you there as it will be a show not to miss.
