Mexico update
A small Mexico update here. As you might have noticed, the chat has returned! In the grey column, can't miss it. Last year this was a great succes during the Kramnik-Topalov match, especially when the Dutch forum Utrechtschaak went down. That's why I decided to put it back for Mexico, and as from today you can already start discussing the Wch (or whatever you like). For the daily puzzle you now have to scroll down a little.And by the way Chessbase brought the news today that there will be a press conference with the eight participants at 20:30 CET (13:30 local time) to be viewed at the official Wch website but since then the site went down. Not a good sign...The schedule for the Wch is as follows:Sept. 12 19:00 Opening ceremony Sept. 13 14:00 Round 01 Sept. 14 14:00 Round 02 Sept. 15 14:00 Round 03 Sept. 16 14:00 Round 04 Sept. 17 Rest day Sept. 18 14:00 Round 05 Sept. 19 14:00 Round 06 Sept. 20 14:00 Round 07 Sept. 21 14:00 Round 08 Sept. 22 Rest day Sept. 23 14:00 Round 09 Sept. 24 14:00 Round 10 Sept. 25 14:00 Round 11 Sept. 26 Rest day Sept. 27 14:00 Round 12 Sept. 28 14:00 Round 13 Sept. 29 14:00 Round 14 Sept. 30 12:00 Tiebreak, Closing ceremonyMexico City time is 7 hours earlier than Central European Time (CET).
