Another forthcoming event: Biel
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1214273347.shtml


   A couple of weeks after [1]Dortmund concludes, the [2]41st Biel
   International Chess Festival begins. It runs from July 18 through
   August 1, and the GM event stars the following players:
   Magnus Carlsen (2765)
   Evgeny Alekseev (2711)
   Etienne Bacrot (2705)
   Lenier Dominguez (2695)
   Alexander Onischuk (2664)
   Yannick Pelletier (2607)
   While not quite at the level of a Linares or even Dortmund, it's still
   a strong tournament. It could also prove historic, as a sufficiently
   good performance could push Carlsen to #1 on the rating list.
