Ongoing, Upcoming Events: Aeroflot and Morelia/Linares
The Aeroflot Open - the world's strongest annual Swiss System event - started today, while Morelia/Linares - arguably the world's toughest round-robin tournament, starts this Saturday. Here's the line-up for the latter event:

Veselin Topalov
Viswanathan Anand
Peter Leko
Peter Svidler
Levon Aronian
Teimour Radjabov
Magnus Carlsen
Alexander Morozevich

Vladimir Kramnik is missing from the ranks of the super-elite, and Carlsen is still an outsider at this point (to judge from his rating and his performance at Wijk aan Zee), but it looks to be a marvelous tournament.
