   That's right, chess fans, it's the real start of the new year as the
   annual super-tournament in chilly Wijk aan Zee starts today. As usual,
   there are three round-robin groups (as well as an open tournament for
   the amateurs), with the top group the featured attraction. (Especially
   interesting, of course, is the round 12 (of 13) pairing of those
   bestest buddies Kramnik and Topalov.)
   More info [1]here and the tournament site [2]here. For those who don't
   feel like clicking, here are the group A pairings for round 1, which
   starts at 1:30 pm local time, 7:30 am ET.
   Topalov-Motylev
   van Wely-Radjabov
   Karjakin-Kramnik
   Shirov-Svidler
   Tiviakov-Carlsen
   Navara-Aronian
   Ponomariov-Anand
