as their new sponsor of the Bunratty MastersThe Bunratty Chess Festival, Ireland's leading Chess event, thanks to the main sponsor, Gary O'Grady, has a special guest this year, world no.7 ranked Super grandmaster, Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria. Topalov will officially open the event, as well as present the prizes at the closing ceremony, and will probably play in the Blitz competition as well on Sunday evening.
