This year. First leg will be Norway Chess, from June 13-28. Second leg will be the Sinquefield Cup, August 21-September 3. Final leg will be the London Chess Classic from December 3-15.
Roster is Carlsen, Caruana, Nakamura, Topalov, Grischuk, Anand, Giri, Vachier-Lagrave, and Aronian. I apparently misheard something yesterday when I thought the ninth player hadn't been chosen yet.
