World Senior Championship 2012

The World Senior Championship has started in Greece. But I see by the participants list that our official USCF entrant, IM Joe Bradford, is not there. I know that last July he was greatly looking forward to playing and planning on it, so it is a mystery. Does anyone know why he is not playing?

I see the USA has Jude Acers (1-0) and Bondar Leonid (0-1), results after the first round.

It’s in Greece. Riots?

Greece is roughly about the size of New York State. Does that mean any time there are problems in Harlem we should assume your tournaments are affected?
