Hi Mark,

Quick correction: Bilbao is the Final of the Grand SLAM, not the Grand Prix. A lot of people are confused about this, but FIDE's Grand PRIX is a completely different set of tournaments, two of which (Baku, and Sochi) have been held, with the third scheduled for December in Doha.

Thanks, Macauley - I can't blame the mistake on confusion. It was a time pressure blunder while preparing one last post before leaving on vacation. - Mark
