With 74 early entries (including 13 GM's and 13 IM's) from 14 countries, the event will for the first time meet the 20/10 FIDE regulation for foreign rated and titled players, increasing the likelihood of FIDE title norms.

Participating American top-players include GM's Robert Hess (2590, this month's Chess Life Magazine cover star) Alexander Shabalov (2585) and Joel Benjamin (2565.)
