My life lately has been fairly normal with not a whole lot to mention. Ever since the Amateur Team which I played a week ago, I've been reading and studying chess quite a bit. Yesterday, I got an invitation to play the rapid tournament in Cap D'Agde France. I was previously invited 2 years ago but was not able to participate due to scheduling conflicts. This year, however, I am going to play the event. I will update everyone when I have more details or something mildly interesting is happening in my life.

Besides chess, what else is going on in?
Rumors were that you were playing poker, had a girlfriend...you know the normal stuff besides being a top GM ;)

Haha...I'll get to that later when I feel like writing a longer blog sometime next week. Right now, I'm just studying chess intensely.

Re: Cap D'Agde 2008
Just wondering if you knew who the participants will be. Also, do you have to pay for you own travel and lodging to these tournaments or do have some sort of sponsor? I've always been curious on how this works.
