The first players have arrived in San Luis for the FIDE world chess championship, which starts next Tuesday (opening ceremony, first round on Wednesday). The first to arrive was Veselin Topalov, on September 22, emerging cheerfully from the plane and answering the questions of journalists in fluent Spanish (he and Anand live or have lived in Spain). "I think this is going to be an amazing tournament," he said.
The title defender Rustam Kasimdzhanov also arrived on Thursday, accompanied by his wife. Peter Leko flew from Budapest to Buenos Aires and then took a bus to San Luis. He was delighted by the beauty of the scenery, the mild, warm temperature and the excellent food.

Finally Peter Svidler, Judit Polgar and Michael Adams arrived, and like the other they were given a document that made them "guests of honour".
