It is an invitation only event but I managed to get one I managed to sneak a couple of pictures before being told taking pictures was not allowed?! The event is at the famous Simpsons in The Strand.
Picture 1 is Gelfand and Topalov going through their game after it had finished. GM Jon Speelman is looking on.
Picture 2 is Rustam Kasimdzhanov as he is about to win against Mickey Adams. It was nice to meet Rustam as he is one of Vishy's seconds and I have been talking with him regularly on Skype for a couple of years.
