Heeere's Hikaru!

I've mentioned the work of cartoonist Jose Diaz before, especially in the context of his classic set of illustrations for the 1999 Wijk aan Zee tournament. He has a couple of efforts for this year's tournament too, which can be accessed here.
Jose Diaz is a well-known chess cartoonist, but his work probably deserves to be better known than it is. Here's an easy opportunity to get acquainted with it if you're not already: visit his website! I'm a big fan of his cartoons from Wijk aan Zee 1999, and only hope the Corus team hires him to do some more this year.
