Strongest Hastings Ever?

THERE are now 104 entries to the Hastings Masters, which runs from December 28 to January 5 at the East Sussex town's Horntye Centre.
The full list is below, but a key statistic is that 43 of the players (chess-results.com says 40, but it is wrong!) have some form of Fide title. Of these, nine are FMs, five are IMs and 18 are GMs.
If you rank a tournament by the number of grandmasters playing, I suspect this may be the strongest ever Hastings. Naturally I accept there are other ways to rank tournaments ...
