Aeroflot 2007 chess tournament

Many Indians participated seeking GM, IM norms. Indians have shown quite inconsistent peformance...lots of up and downs... Harika and Rohit performed best among Indians. Rohit G obtained his well deserved GM norm while Harika seems to have missed it by a whisker. Arun Karthik obtained IM norm from group B.

Koneru Humpy vs Deepan Chakravarthy match

GM Humpy and GM Deepan played 8 game match called as vizag challenger trophy (Humpy won the match 5.5-2.5). I think they should have invited a strong foreign female player like Alexandra kosteniuk or stefanova to play against Humpy. That would have generated a lot of interest.
