Assessment

Ene Caballero continues his rise; he's currently 6th in the rankings but could see 4th by the end of the year. Early next year I would expect at the latest. Jochen Weigle righted the ship, which sucked the drama out of the Race this year. He won the China Open 500-level tournament, and is playing another one this week. Meanwhile Johann Przalowik has fallen victim to a case of the rare ranking bug - he's not been given credit for all of his points, and he's suffered some early losses which have made it quite unlikely he'll be able to crash the party.

It looks like Caballero in, Solitris Papadias out is going to be the only change in the field this year.
