It does look like it will be another fantastic event.
And in the Masters, with the exception of Aronian only I think, Carlsen will be the oldest player!

"Great selection of young talents, only Aronian saving me from being the oldest player in the field"

Inevitably, the absence of a certain young player will also be noted.

Once again I turned them down after they didn't ask me. I have standards.

To save me the trouble of looking it up, who was the last British player in the Tata Masters or Challengers and how did they do?

Maybe five years on, he doesn't get helpfully reminded of *that* game with Carlsen every day?

And so tonight we had the drawing of numbers : Carlsen v Aronian tomorrow; with jokes about the two oldies playing each other before they have to face the youngsters.
