    A little info about Evgeny (copied from wikipedia)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Evgeny Bareev (born in a Tatar family on 21 November 1966) is a Russian chess Grandmaster. In October 2003, he was in fourth place in the world rankings, with an Elo rating of 2739.

    Bareev was World Under-16 Champion in 1982 when his talent was first showcased internationally. Bareev was a member of the Russian national team in the two Chess Olympiads of 1994 and 1996. The biggest success in his career was winning the Corus super-tournament in Wijk aan Zee 2002. In this event he scored 9/13 ahead of elite players like Alexander Grischuk, Michael Adams, Alexander Morozevich, and Peter Leko. In the Enghien-les-Bains tournament held in France in 2003, Bareev finished in first place. In a man vs. machine contest in January 2003, Bareev took on the chess program HIARCS in a four game-match: all four games were drawn.

    He was a second to Vladimir Kramnik in his triumphant 2000 World championship match against Garry Kasparov.

    His most notable participation in the World Chess Championship events was the Candidates Tournament for the Classical World Chess
    Championship 2004 in Dortmund 2002. Bareev reached the semi-finals, but lost his match against Veselin Topalov.

    Lucky Toronto.

    I found Bareev's chapters in the Dvoretsky books to be delightful and insightful. What a treat!

    We know that the simul will be "in Russian" (i.e., Bareev will win most of the games), but will the lecture be in English? I'm asking because the event is sponsored by the Russian-Ukrainian club.

      I asked that too, and the answer was "in English" with a remark from Michael "unless we get russian-speaking only audience"
      Are you coming? :)

          That's right! Bravo for the organizers of this event, especially Michael Barron(GTCL). We need more events like this one in the next years to come.
          Thank you.

              Even Evgeny Bareev remarked that there were so many girls :)

              Q&A:
              The next champions will be Carlsen and Aronian, just don't know when.

              Zero-tolerance: "very good", players may come 15 minutes early. (definitely he has not been in a snow storm.)

              etc (to be continued)

                Being a Caro Kann player, I've never had to face one of Bareev's recommended lines 3. f3 (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5).

                I've uploaded some photos of the event on flickr:
