The "Nanjing Pearl" tournament, one of the major Super-tournament circuit, starts tomorrow, October 19th, in Nanjing, China.
According to chessbase.com, this will be an historic event:
"Nanjing 2010 is possibly the hottest round-robin tournament of the year, and is the first in history with three players rated 2800 in it."
In fact, this is one of the few times in history we have even had three 2800+ players in the world - Magnus Carlsen, Vesselin Topalov, and Vishwanathan Anand. (Perhaps the first time ever?)
