   The traditional year-ending tournament in Pamplona, Spain is underway.
   While no one from the current super-elite is in the field, it's a very
   strong tournament nonetheless. Near-elites Vallejo Pons and Sargissian
   are playing, as are Chinese star Wang Yue, the talented but lacking in
   chess culture* Movsesian and Georgian star Jobava, and former
   super-elite Beliavsky is in the mix as well. The field also includes
   Rodshtein and the little-known but still over-2600 Spanish player
   Khamrakulov, so it's a tournament worth keeping an eye on.
