Gata Kamsky just arrived. First trouble already started, although not really his fault. He just bought a new computer with his credit card and apparently there wasn't enough credit left to use it for his room at check-in!
[I'm going to be adding many tiny tidbits throughout, sort of liveblogging the event. I won't send email notifications for each of these because it would be serious spamming. The ChampBlog at the official site will have items from the players and staff, not just me.]
live bits of blogging sounds good, keep it up.
