2015 Millionaire Chess Satellite (Johannesburg, S. Africa)
The field for the Tsogo Sun Millionaire Satellite has just been boosted by the inclusion of GM Kenny Solomon who confirmed his participation yesterday morning.
There are now only 4 days to go to the start of the third and final Satellite event tournament and players who still wish to participate are asked to register urgently at https://www.chessexcellence.com/ to avoid disappointment.
The starting list for the Champion section is now published at https://www.chess-results.com/tnr179449.aspx?lan=1 and will be updated daily moving forward.
The top 10 seeds are now all rated above 2100 and we look forward to the fight for the final ticket to Las Vegas!

Thanks for the info Daaim. I thought Mabusela was Cuban based on appearance.
With a first name like providence, it’s appropriate for him to show his wisdom by coming out on top of the field. Well done and Congratulations!
I am just wondering if the format for these satellite tournaments are producing the very best players to compete in arguably the toughest tournament in the United States. I was looking forward to seeing Kenny at MC#2. IM providence will surely be tested!
African Players = POWER !!!
