Photos from the Bilbao Grand Prix Slam
There are lots of photos on Flickr from the Bilbao Grand Prix Slam. This one shows the players in the sound proof glass playing cabin called the aquarium.
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
