Looking forward to another triple-teen triumph - Carlsen, So, Robson.

I really like the way Wijk is organized - Group A has world class players but not only the usual suspects, Group B also very strong but even more colorful, and Group C a nice mix between established players and local players. Many games per round to watch, not to mention the Open tournament. In my view better than Linares and all the others...
