Saleh Salem,Jaime Santos Latasa,Erwin L'Ami,Leon Luke Mendonca,Daniel Dardha,Marc Andria Maurizzi,Liam Vrolijk,Harika Dronavalli,Stefan Beukema,Deshmukh Divya andEline Roebers.World Champion Ding Liren who has hardly played after winning the title due to ill health will be looking to start afresh and begin a legacy as champion. 7 of the 14 Masters are top 10 players but Magnus Carlsen is missing for only the second time in 20 years. The organisers say Carlsen has a busy schedule in February, I only have Prague as an event he could plausibly play but there's no indication that's it, so maybe something new, maybe something online. Other players missing are the leading Americans and MVL. Nevertheless it looks the usual right balance of different styles, ages and strengths of players to produce the usual great tournament.
