In case you're still not getting enough chess from Corus and Gibraltar, then there is always the 2010 Moscow Open, an event that's apparently devoted to The Great Patriotic War of 1945 . With an impressive list of grandmasters, some 30 of whom are rated 2600+, in the 'A' section, this event is sure to produce some exciting top level games.
