Most of us probably know someone competing in the HB Global Challenge. Their website is very useful for tracking results and downloading games. For good coverage of the leaders and other stories, check out Maurice Ashley's blog (which I'll have to add to my list). He seems to predict Beliavsky to win it all -- especially since he beat both Nakamura and van Wely today while playing Black against both!
Westfield's Todd Lunna got to play against Sergey Kudrin in the first round:
