   These are good times in the chess world, as practically the instant
   one super-GM tournament finishes, another begins straightaway. This
   one, the [1]MTel Masters in Sofia, Bulgaria, is a double round-robin
   with the following players:
   Veselin Topalov BUL 2767
   Levon Aronian ARM 2763
   Teimour Radjabov AZE 2751
   Vassily Ivanchuk UKR 2740
   Bu Xiangzhi CHN 2708
   Ivan Cheparinov BUL 2695
   The games start Thursday, and they place for five consecutive days -
   one trip through the round-robin. After a day off, they do the same
   thing: five straight days going through the second round-robin. It
   should be a great event, as all the players are fighters with dynamic
   styles - the Sofia anti-draw rules should prove unnecessary.
