Can the young guns (Yan An, Fan Zhendong & Zhou Yu) of China impose their games in the later rounds? Can other Asian players such as Chuang Chih Yuan, Jun Mizutani, Koki Niwa, Gao Ning, Lee Jung Woo, and many other star names make a dent in the draw? Enjoy the show guys.

A forum mate from OOAK will be going there. Too bad I cannot. My vacation already ended.

I think Yan An will win the competition.
