The big news event at the moment is the Sinquefield Cup in St Louis, where Magnus Carlsen leads the strong 4 player (Aronian, Nakamura, Kamsky) event. The final round is today, starting at a time I am yet to work out.
The other big event is the Women's World Championship match in China. Former champion Hou Yifan is playing current champion Anna Ushenina. After 3 games Yifan has taken a two point lead (wins in games 1&3). Interestingly both wins have been with the black pieces. The match is over a short 10 games, so it will be a test of the theory that the player in front can now coast to victory by drawing their remaining games.
